Circ Expands Circular Textile Network with New China Manufacturing Partnership
Circ®, a global leader in textile‑to‑textile recycling, today announced a new partnership agreement with Xinxiang Bailu Chemical Fiber Co., a Canopy Dark Green Shirt producer and one of the world’s leading producers of viscose filament. The agreement marks a significant step in Circ’s continued expansion in China and strengthens its position within the country’s rapidly evolving circular textile ecosystem, further supporting Circ’s ability to supply recycled fibers near existing fashion supply chains.
Under the agreement, Xinxiang Bailu Chemical Fiber Co. will procure Circ’s recycled pulp for use in commercial-grade viscose filament production. Xinxiang Bailu Chemical Fiber Co. will serve as a commercial partner to Circ in China, producing recycled-content viscose filament for utilization by global fashion brands and mills.
Xinxiang Bailu Investment Group was founded in 1960. As its core subsidiary, Xinxiang Chemical Fiber Co., Ltd. was listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange on October 21, 1999. It mainly engages in the production of more than ten categories of products, including viscose filament and spandex. As a key player in the global man-made cellulosic fiber market, Xinxiang Bailu Chemical Fiber Co. has the world’s largest viscose filament production capacity.
By validating Circ’s pulp for large-scale viscose filament production, the partnership advances a closed-loop model in China, the world’s largest textile manufacturing hub. This is the stepping stone for a scalable model that’s reducing reliance on virgin raw materials, lowering the carbon footprint on fiber production, and expanding access to sustainable alternatives for global brands seeking to meet their climate and circularity commitments.
