Renewcell
Renewcell, a pioneer in textile recycling innovation, has introduced the CIRCULOSE® Supplier Network (CSN) – a group of forty-seven yarn and textile producers dedicated to advancing the circular economy by ensuring a steady supply of CIRCULOSE® to the market.
Crystal International Group Limited is among the leading companies partnering with Renewcell in this initiative.
Crystal International’s Role in CSN
Crystal International’s collaboration with Renewcell in the CSN aims to ensure a consistent supply of CIRCULOSE® to the fashion industry, fostering circularity in textile production. And also commits to the continuous development of circular solutions, contributing to sustainable textiles and end-products under the CIRCULOSE® brand name.
Empowering Circular Economy in Fashion
CIRCULOSE® is a revolutionary Next Generation raw material derived from recycled cellulose found in worn-out clothing. Renewcell’s pioneering process transforms this into dissolving pulp, serving as the foundation for various regenerated fibers. Crystal International and other CSN members lead the way by streamlining CIRCULOSE® production across the supply chain, allowing fashion brands to access circular options for designing and creating clothing with CIRCULOSE®.
A Transformation Process: CIRCULOSE® is transformed into dissolving pulp made from 100% recycled textiles, forming the foundation for different regenerated fibers, including viscose, lyocell, modal, acetate, and other man-made cellulosic fibers. The recycling process involves shredding, de-buttoning, de-zipping, de-coloring, and turning discarded textiles into a slurry, which is then dried to produce pure CIRCULOSE® sheets. Renewcell’s commitment to using 100% renewable energy in the production process has earned them various sustainability certifications with good traceability.
Crystal International’s collaboration in the CIRCULOSE® Supplier Network marks a significant milestone in the circular economy advancement. By partnering with leading yarn and textile producers, CIRCULOSE® aims to transform the fashion industry, paving the way for a circular future in the fashion supply chain. The commitment to sustainability and circularity strengthens Crystal International’s position as a driving force in promoting positive change within the global apparel industry.
