Circ France is not a demo or a pilot. It’s the world’s first commercial-scale plant to recycle polycotton. A global shift for fashion, and for the planet.

From Linear to Circular: A Better Way Forward.

Each year, over 90 million tons of clothing are burned or buried. Most of it can’t be recycled. That’s because fashion’s supply chain runs on a linear model: fast production, short wear, and nowhere to go at the end. Blended textiles like polycotton are the standard but current recycling tech can’t process them. So they’re wasted. Until now. Circ France changes that. We are rebuilding the system with our industrial solution to fashion’s most persistent problem.

The First Industrial Facility of its Kind.

Circ France is the first commercial facility engineered for polycotton recycling at scale.

Using our proven and patented hydrothermal process, the plant will produce three high-quality raw materials: cellulose pulp, purified terephthalic acid (PTA), and monoethylene glycol (MEG).

These materials are ready to be used by every tier of the fashion supply chain.

It’s a material solution, available at industrial scale.

Backed by Visionaries.
Embraced by Industry.

Circ France is made possible by a global coalition of investors, partners, and policymakers who believe in technology’s power to reshape the future of fashion.

This is the moment we’ve been building toward since Circ was founded… It’s not just a major milestone for Circ, but a breakthrough for the entire circular economy at a time when the planet urgently needs scalable climate solutions.

This is Just the Beginning.

Construction is starting soon. Circ France comes online in 2028 and it’s only the first. Our growth will help meet the needs of brands and the global supply chain to make circular materials the standard.
