Circulose, H&M boost efforts to expand circular materials use in fashion
Since 2020, H&M has pioneered the integration of Circulose into their product lines.
The new agreement cements their role as one of Circulose's inaugural Scaling Partners, with H&M aiming to replace a significant portion of its man-made cellulosic fibres (MMCF) with Circulose-derived fibres.
Circulose, developed from repurposed textiles, represents an advanced material that enables fashion brands to progress towards a circular fashion model by decreasing dependence on new, virgin fibres without compromising on quality and functionality.
Circulose CEO Jonatan Janmark said: 'H&M Group has been a driving force in advancing sustainable and circular solutions in fashion, and a long-time supporter and early adopter of Circulose- dating back to the Renewcell days. We're proud and grateful to now formalise this new partnership to accelerate Circulose adoption at scale. Their commitment plays a critical role in helping us reaching the volumes needed to restart our factory.'
The collaboration is in line with Circulose's commercial strategy, focusing on brand cooperation, offering dedicated support for implementation and introducing a novel licensing-based pricing structure.
This pricing model was devised in conjunction with Fashion for Good and Canopy to streamline the expansion of next-generation materials.
H&M Group's Resource Use & Circularity head Cecilia Strömblad Brännsten said: 'We were pioneers back in 2020 when we first brought fashion made from Circulose to our customers. Today, we're excited to deepen this partnership. Investing in next-generation materials is essential to achieving our goal: ensuring that 100% of our materials are recycled or sustainably sourced by 2030. Scaling access to these solutions is key to accelerating the shift towards a circular economy for fashion.'
The announcement follows Circulose's decision to appoint Helena Helmersson, former CEO of H&M Group known for her dedication to sustainability initiatives, as chairman of its board.
"Circulose, H&M boost efforts to expand circular materials use in fashion" was originally created and published by Just Style, a GlobalData owned brand.

Wall Street's Secret Weapon: How Citi and Capital One Cracked the H-1B Code
Wall Street might not be building the next ChatGPT, but it's hiring like it wants to. New data covering May 2020 through 2024 shows that Citigroup (NYSE:C) brought in over 3,000 new H-1B workersmore than many Big Tech names. But here's the kicker: nearly two-thirds weren't even Citi employees. They were contractorslower-paid, outsourced, and funneled in through firms like Tata Consultancy Services, which is now under federal investigation. These middlemen operate a parallel system: they recruit, place, and often underpay talent while clipping a cut from each paycheck. Median salary for one of these H-1B developers? $94,000. Compare that to $142,000 for a direct hire doing similar work. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 7 Warning Sign with C. Capital One might just be the poster child for how deep this goes. More than half of its 905 H-1B contract hires came from staffing firms flagged for using multiple registrationsa strategy the government deemed fraudulent just last year. The company worked with 429 separate middlemen, including six previously linked to visa gaming. Other big namesVerizon (NYSE:VZ), AT&T (NYSE:T), Walmart (NYSE:WMT)also relied heavily on such contractors, but remained silent when pressed for comment. Even with similar job titles and education levels, the pay gap between contract and full-time H-1B workers remained stark. In some cases, one in three contractors was paid the bare minimum allowed under US law. This is no longer just a Silicon Valley story. It's a systemic reshaping of white-collar labor. And the incentives are clear: lower wages, flexible hiring, and easier paths to offshoring. The data, obtained through FOIA litigation, exposes how middlemen now dominate a program once meant to bring in the best of the best. But instead of elite AI talent, we're seeing armies of outsourced IT workers filling lower-level rolesoften stuck in second-tier status due to visa restrictions. Whether Washington reforms it or not, investors would be smart to watch how companies like Citigroup and Capital One are quietly arbitraging America's immigration system.

Texas A&M's four-star 2026 commit inks NIL deal with Adidas brand ahead of senior season
BREAKING 🚨adidas has signed six top high school football athletes to NIL endorsement deals ✍️𝗔𝗱𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗿𝗼 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲:- Tristen Keys (No. 1 WR, LSU commit)- Tyler Atkinson (No. 1 LB)- Chris Henry Jr. (No. 3 WR, Ohio State commit)- Calvin Russell (No. 5 WR)… In the name, image and likeness (NIL) era of collegiate athletics, multiple Texas A&M football stars are cashing in on opportunities provided by massive companies to represent their respective brands or companies. Even though 2026 commit Madden Williams has yet to suit up in the Maroon and White on Saturdays, he has reportedly inked a deal with Adidas ahead of his senior high school campaign. The four-star wideout from Bellflower, California, is one of six top high school football athletes to sign endorsement deals with the brand. With Texas A&M also repping Adidas as the official sponsor of Aggies athletics, one of the program's highly-touted recruits is fitting right in as he prepares to play under the lights of Kyle Field in College Station in 2026. Williams is not the only player capitalizing on endorsements, however. Sophomore quarterback Marcel Reed recently put pen to paper on a deal with private jet company ENG Aviation Group, and North Carolina State wide receiver transfer KC Concepcion has reportedly received $2.5 million from companies like Call of Duty, Topps and Fanatics. The St. John Bosco High School standout ranks as the No. 39 wide receiver and No. 27 prospect in the state of California, per 247 Sports Recruiting Rankings. His route-running ability, quick release off the ball and acceleration are attributes that contributed to schools like Ohio State, Oregon, Penn State and Texas offering him to come play for their respective football programs. When it came down to it, Williams chose the Aggies and joined a stacked 2026 class that currently ranks No. 3 in the country, according to On3 Sports and 247 Sports. During his junior year in 2025, he hauled in 50 receptions for 851 yards and 13 touchdowns, which nearly doubled his production for St. John Bosco as a sophomore. If this trend continues, Williams has the potential to become the next big Aggie star at wide receiver.

Community shop boosted by influx of strawberries
A community shop which 'rescues' surplus food has been given a boost after receiving a huge influx of strawberries. The Vital Village community shop in Thames Ditton sells surplus food to the community at discounted prices from various places, including supermarkets and warehouses. Earlier this week the shop received "about 3,000 berries" from partners including Marks & Spencer, Waitrose and Sainsbury's. The shop's founder, Vicky Zadeh, says the inundation of strawberries has proven "super popular". She said: "They are bringing people from far and wide from around Thames Ditton. Many haven't even seen us or used us before - and it's changing the perception of what we do." The community shop forms part of a community centre leased to Vital Village last year. Ms Zadeh said the shop provides food for anyone, "whether your reason is from a financial perspective, or whether you want to rescue some food and do your bit for the environment". The shop is run by almost 90 volunteers, including Alison Barnett, who said interest has been "phenomenal" since the berries arrived. She said: "We've had people who say, 'well I've lived in Thames Ditton for so many years and I didn't know you were here until the berries news got out'." An M&S spokesperson said: "We work closely with our suppliers to reduce food waste at source and in-store, through our partnership with redistribution platform Neighbourly - making sure any edible surplus food reaches those who need it most in the community. "Last weekend, we had more strawberries left than usual so our team donated them." Follow BBC Surrey on Facebook, on X. Send your story ideas to southeasttoday@ or WhatsApp us on 08081 002250.
