Our Circular Material Library is the first digital showcase of fabrics, yarns, trims, leathers, and leather alternatives that have been tested and validated for future recyclability.
01Circular Material Library
Make your innovative and sustainable materials accessible to brands.
Our Circular Material Library lets you showcase your innovative and sustainable materials to fashion brands around the world and sell them directly to clients who share your values. All materials are checked and validated for future recyclability by our comprehensive Circular Material Check, and then matched to recycling cycles according to our network database.
Register materials that fulfill three criteria:
Sustainable properties, including raw material and production process
Innovative material composition and properties
Circular properties; the material can be mechanically or chemically recycled, industrially biodegraded or composted
An online showcase of your materials to share with existing and future clients
Materials checked for recyclability to ensure their ability to circulate
02Circular Material Check
Validate the circularity of your textiles through a comprehensive check.
We conduct Circular Material Checks* on textiles, yarns, trims, leather, and other materials with the aim of matching them with one or several recyclers within our partner network. The checks are done through an in-depth analysis of the material‘s chemical composition to ensure alignment with recycling requirements. The checks are conducted based on the material specifications provided by you, and evaluated based on the recycling requirements of our European recycling partner network.** Your first ten materials during the first 12 months are checked free of charge.
*you do not need to check for circularity with us to offer your material in our library. ** For checks on materials or products that are retailed to users in other markets (e.g. US, Asia, etc.), please email team@circular.fashion
Verify actionable circularity of your materials conveniently through the software
Ensure that your materials match the recycling feedstock requirements of mechanical and chemical technologies
