Circulose Restarts Commercial-Scale Production at Ortviken Plant in Sundsvall, Sweden
We are a Swedish textile innovation company producing CIRCULOSE®, a raw material made from 100% recycled cotton textiles. We partner with brands and fiber producers to shift the industry from linear to circular – not someday, but today.
Circularity is complex.
So we made it simple.
Product
Our raw material enables fashion brands to replace virgin fibers within existing supply chains, without compromising on quality or design.
Solution
Our unique business model is built on integrating the entire value chain — reducing friction, aligning incentives, and lowering the cost of adopting circular materials at scale.
Partners
Partnership is at the core of our solution. CIRCULOSE® works within a growing ecosystem of brands, fiber producers, innovators, and value‑chain partners who share the ambition to scale circular materials.
Impact
Replacing virgin MMCF with CIRCULOSE®-based fibers delivers measurable environmental benefits across key impact areas, including CO₂ emissions, land and water use.
