Circ & Selenis Scale Circular Polyester in Europe
Textile-to-textile recycling pioneer Circ® has entered a strategic partnership with Selenis, a Portugal-based polyester manufacturer, to scale the industrial production of Circ® Polyester from end-of-life textiles in Europe. Under this agreement, Selenis will toll and polymerize thousands of metric tons of Circ's recycled polyester, providing critical infrastructure to commercialize the fiber at large volumes across key apparel segments including activewear, basics, and fashion. This collaboration not only accelerates Circ's dual-product platform—spanning recycled polyester and lyocell—but also enhances access to high-quality circular fibers for global mills and brands. Peter Majeranowski, CEO of Circ®, stated, 'This partnership validates our strategy to scale two critical fiber alternatives simultaneously. With Selenis, we are well-positioned to deliver on the global demand for circular materials.' Selenis, known for its expertise in high-performance polyester manufacturing, brings years of technical know-how and operational strength to the venture. The company has already made strides in bottle-to-bottle circularity and now strengthens its role in textile-to-textile recycling, with operations expanding in both the U.S. and Italy. 'This is about turning circularity from theory into industrial reality,' said Duarte Matos Gil, CEO of Selenis. 'We need systems where garments return as garments, not waste. And that requires both innovation and supportive legislation.' Eduardo Santos, Global Head of Strategy at Selenis, added, 'Our decision to invest in textile circularity—even as our roots were in plastics—reflects our long-term vision. This alliance with Circ® is our next leap forward in making fashion truly sustainable.' Together, Circ® and Selenis are building the infrastructure needed to close the loop on polyester production in the fashion industry—at scale, and across continents.
