Spain's Zara has partnered with Circ to create a capsule collection for women made from recycled polycotton textile waste.
Circ's recycling technology allows Zara and Circ to create lyocell and polyester garments from the waste.
The collection showcases on-trend and light garments in burgundy tones that are designed to keep in circulation.
Spanish retail clothing chain Zara, in partnership with Circ, the fashion technology company that recycles textile waste back into new fibres, has revealed a new women’s capsule collection made with recycled textiles derived from polycotton textile waste. The collection is available across 11 markets.
Zara and Circ have broken down blends of polyester and cotton—referred to as polycotton—into new recycled raw materials to create new garments. Circ's recycling technology can separate polycotton blended textile waste and recover both cellulosic and synthetic fibres, Zara and Circ said in a joint press release.
The collection features lyocell garments made with 50 per cent recycled polycotton textile waste and polyester garments with 43 per cent recycled polycotton textile waste. With creative direction from the design team at Zara Woman, the collection showcases on-trend and light garments in burgundy tones that are designed to keep in circulation.
“We believe our partnership with Zara signals a seismic shift in how the fashion industry and consumers view what is possible in sustainability,” said Peter Majeranowski, CEO of Circ. “This is the first-time recycled polyester and lyocell clothing manufactured from polycotton textile waste is in the hands of consumers, and we are taking important steps towards making circularity the new standard. Circ and Zara want to create a new future in which the garments hanging in our closets are made from recycled materials that can then be recycled over and over again.” Read More…
