Circulose regenerated cellulose fibre by Renewcell

Circulose by Renewcell is a regenerated cellulose textile produced from old cotton garments. The waste material is shredded, de-buttoned, de-zipped, de-coloured and turned into a slurry. Contaminants and other non-cellulosic content are separated and removed. The slurry is dried to produce Circulose dissolving pulp, which is used to make new cellulose fibres, such as viscose, lyocell, modal and acetate. The company launched their first factory in 2023 and was declared bankrupt in February 2024. Image Renewcell.
