Acegreen to incorporate Circ’s recycled pulp

Acegreen Eco-Material Technology, a subsidiary of Taiwan’s Acelon Chemicals and Fiber Corporation, has announced a five-year commitment to purchase recycled pulp and polyester from U.S.-based innovator Circ. This strategic move marks a major step toward scaling the supply and integration of next-gen sustainable fibers across the textile industry.

The recycled pulp will be used by Acegreen to produce pre-specified lyocell fibers, enabling brands to incorporate high-quality recycled inputs into their manufacturing pipelines. Simultaneously, parent company Acelon will source Circ’s recycled polyester to enhance filament yarn production, furthering the reach of circular materials in apparel supply chains.

“Acegreen was one of our earliest partners and a catalyst in validating our technology at scale,” said Peter Majeranowski, CEO of Circ. “Their commitment showcases how adaptable, forward-thinking companies can drive real momentum toward circularity in textiles.”

This partnership is reinforced by Acegreen’s environmental credentials, including Dark Green Shirt rankings on Canopy’s Hot Button report for 2023 and 2024, affirming their leadership in forest-friendly fiber production.

With global demand for recycled materials outpacing supply, the Acegreen–Circ collaboration underscores the importance of aligning innovation with infrastructure. “This partnership solidifies our commitment to sustainability,” said Roger Chou, CEO of Acegreen. “Together with Circ, we’re building a more resource-efficient textile future—ensuring reliable access to recycled raw materials while reducing waste and advancing environmental goals.”
