After the C.L.A.S.S. recent evolution of its communication tools, we are really pleased to introduce Circular Systems as a new C.L.A.S.S.
Material Hub partner. “A company completely aligned with C.L.A.S.S. vision about responsible innovation and with strong industrial solutions based on circular economy and regenerative technologies. Circular Systems will be an important, valuable, additional choice we offer to the market to develop a new generation of fashion based on natural – circular and regenerative solutions“ says Giusy Bettoni – CEO & Founder of C.L.A.S.S. Circular Systems is a California-based material science company, focused on creating a net positive impact on the environment, society, and economy through innovation. Its circular plus regenerative technologies provide systemic solutions for transforming waste into valuable fiber, yarns, and fabrics for the fashion industry. Textile waste and agricultural residues are a huge problem, often burned, left to rot in the fields, or sent to landfills creating massive amounts of CO2. Circular Systems is looking at these waste streams as valuable resources, turning problems into a solution by converting them into high-value materials for the fashion industry. The “Lightest Touch™“ philosophy, defines their mission to retain the maximum amount of embedded energy in waste inputs while creating the “highest-value outputs” with the lowest impacts. Integration of these technologies into global supply chains is key without compromising quality, thus extending the life cycle of these materials. Circular Systems has three break-through waste-to-fiber platforms that offer the most efficient management of textile and agricultural waste:
• The Agraloop™ refines natural fibers derived from agricultural crops into a textile-grade fiber called Agraloop™ BioFibre™. A NEW Natural Fiber mindfully sourced for circularity. With our specialized processing technique, cellulose fiber from stems and leaves is purified into soft fiber bundles ready to spin into yarns. The Agraloop™ processes leftovers from various food and medicine crops
including, oilseed hemp/flax, CBD hemp, banana, and pineapple.
• Texloop™ Recycling produces high-quality GRS (Global Recycled Standard) certified recycled cotton fiber called RCOT™. Texloop™ preserves fiber quality for the next generation of recycled materials and blends with GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certified organic cotton and Canopy approved man-made cellulosic to create near virgin quality yarns for knitting and weaving.
• Orbital™ hybrid yarns create high-quality materials with high performance, using organic and recycled fiber inputs. Orbital’s patent-pending technology produces inherent wicking and fast dry performance materials, even with 50%-70% natural fiber composition, eliminating the need for chemical finishes to create high-performance fabrics.
