Circ is a sustainable fashion technology company founded by Peter Majeranowski that has pioneered technology to recycle garments into pulp that can be reused in the textile supply chain. The company aims to address the environmental impact of fast fashion's overproduction, with over one hundred billion garments produced annually. The innovation originated from attempts to create fuel from tobacco, which unexpectedly led to the development of this circular fashion solution.

Why They Built It

Peter Majeranowski created Circ to close the loop on fast fashion by pioneering technology that recycles existing garments into pulp that can be reused at the beginning of the supply chain, proving that we have all the clothes we need to make all future clothing.
