In addition to open end yarns, ring spun yarns have been successfully produced with Circullartex fibers. The spinning process and quality of these yarns has been validated by key suppliers and retailers.
Yes, it does. These elements must be removed manually before the recycling process, which increases time and cost. However, some automated solutions exist. Circullartex has an automated machine that removes buttons, trims, and zippers from post-consumer materials, although we always advise that the material should be as clean and virgin as possible.
Circullartex can technically recycle Cotton/Polyester blends. However, to maintain the quality Circullartex is known for, several nuances must be considered. Circullartex must carefully review all aspects of the blend to minimize limitations in the applicability of the recycled fibers into yarns and finished fabrics.Some considerations include:The % of polyester in the recyclable materials.The required polyester content in the yarn to be spun.The required % of recycled materials in the yarn.Recycled fibers made from textiles with elastane content will have no spinning issues with heavy thread counts but may be problematic with fine thread counts. To achieve optimal recyclability of your materials and products, elastane should be avoided.
What makes Circullartex unique? How is our setup (supply chain) or our fiber better than other solutions on the market?
Circullartex is a leading materials science company and global producer of low-impact, high-performance recycled cotton fiber and cotton fiber blends. We deliver innovative and cost-competitive recycled fibers and circular solutions at scale. We are constantly innovating and incorporating new technologies with an expert team that guarantees brands and partners value and teamwork.
Circullartex brings over 75 years of experience in mechanical recycling to the table. For the past 3 years, Circullartex has worked with the best machine manufacturers to co-create state-of-the-art recycling technology that is exclusive to Circullartex. Furthermore, Circullartex has a unique and proprietary color matching process, RColorBlend, that allows us to deliver fiber that is already colored, eliminating the need to overdye the cotton.
Through third-party certifications and verifications (including GRS, OCS, UN Global Compact, Higg FEM/FSLM) we ensure the highest standards in environmentally and socially responsible production. We also perform LCA studies to enable us to continuously improve and provide optimal transparency to the industry and end-consumers regarding our sustainability performance. According to Higg MSI, Circullartex recycled cotton fiber generously outperforms conventional cotton fiber across all 5 categories: Global warming, Eutrophication, Water scarcity, Fossil fuel depletion and Chemistry (Higg MSI at msi.higg.org V3.3).
We are not an on-demand supplier, we build strategic alliances with retailers. We provide price stability and the opportunity to establish long-term projects by signing agreements that guarantee a commitment to recycled fiber capacity. Our focus on achieving the lowest impact, highest quality recycled fiber on the market, and our project scalability makes us unique and pioneering.
