American textile recycling firm Circ has partnered with China’s Xinxiang Bailu Chemical Fiber to produce recycled-content viscose filament, boosting its industrial network and Asia footprint. Xinxiang Bailu will manufacture viscose from Circ’s recycled pulp, bringing circular fibres closer to major fashion production hubs.

The collaboration validates Circ’s technology at scale and marks a step toward a closed-loop textile recycling model in China, the world’s largest textile producer. By reducing reliance on virgin raw materials, the initiative aims to cut fibre production’s carbon footprint and expand sustainable material supply for brands.

“Integrating our technology with leading fibre manufacturers builds the infrastructure needed to scale a truly circular textile economy,” said Peter Majeranowski, CEO of Circ. Xinxiang Bailu, part of the Xinxiang Chemical Fiber Group, has the largest global viscose filament production capacity and exports to over 40 countries.

Founded in the U.S., Circ develops patented technology that separates polyester and cellulose from blended fabrics, converting them into raw materials equivalent to virgin fibres. With Inditex as a stakeholder, Circ is preparing its first industrial plant in France while expanding its global partner network to accelerate recycled fibre commercialisation.
