Circoolar

Cir­co­olar is espe­ci­al­ly care­ful in the cho­ice of the pla­ce whe­re they make the­ir garments.

That is why, when the volu­me allows it, they make the­ir gar­ments in km0 soci­al wor­k­shops for labo­ur inser­ti­on at a nati­onal level that work espe­ci­al­ly with women at risk of soci­al exclu­si­on and people at risk of exclu­si­on. The­ir wor­k­shops inclu­de Fun­da­ción ARED, Fun­da­ción Roure, Ellas lo Bor­dan, Proyec­to Hilan­de­ras, Top Man­ta, among others. 

When the volu­me of work is gre­ater, they turn to pro­fe­ssi­onal wor­k­shops in Spa­in, Por­tu­gal and Moroc­co, with decent wor­king conditions. 

All Cir­co­olar pro­duc­ts are made from recy­cled and eco-fri­end­ly fabrics. 

Most of the­ir gar­ments are made from polyes­ter obta­ined from recy­cled PET bot­tles or rege­ne­ra­ted gar­ments, and from orga­nic cot­ton, or rege­ne­ra­ted cot­ton (the thre­ad extrac­ted from other pre- and post-con­su­mer garments).

Cur­ren­tly it is very dif­fi­cult to guaran­tee full tra­ce­abi­lity of plas­tic was­te. But we can say that they can come from pre-con­su­mer (for exam­ple, was­ta­ge in fac­to­ri­es or bot­tling plants) or post-con­su­mer (the bot­tles we recy­cle in the yel­low bin)

Cir­co­olar’s sup­pli­ers have recog­ni­sed indus­try seals and cer­ti­fi­ca­ti­ons such as the OEKO-TEX® Stan­dard 100, Glo­bal Recy­cled Stan­dard (GRS), or Glo­bal Orga­nic Texti­le Stan­dard (GOTS) for orga­nic cotton.

Cir­co­olar’s raison d’ê­tre is cir­cu­lar sus­ta­ina­bi­lity, based on not gene­ra­ting was­te.

The­ir cir­cu­lar visi­on leads them to always use eco­lo­gi­cal raw mate­ri­als such as orga­nic or rege­ne­ra­ted cot­ton, or other recy­cled fabrics, always ensu­ring the­ir sub­sequ­ent recycling. 

They have a col­lec­ti­on ser­vi­ce for gar­ments at the end of the­ir use­ful life. Than­ks to the fact that they ​“return” to the­ir han­ds by con­tract or thro­ugh a ren­ting sys­tem, they guaran­tee the deli­very of the­se gar­ments to texti­le recy­cling plants whe­re a second life is ensu­red and, the­re­fo­re, the gene­ra­ti­on of zero waste. 

Cir­co­olar also offers cre­ati­ve and impac­t­ful solu­ti­ons to old texti­le waste.

They tran­sform the texti­le labo­ur was­te into 100% tra­ce­able felt or rege­ne­ra­ted yarn and fabric to make new clot­hing or house­hold items; or mer­c­han­di­sing elements.

The result at the end of the pro­cess, zero waste!

90% of wor­kwe­ar orders were made in Km0 soci­al wor­k­shops for soci­al inser­ti­on and women’s empower­ment. In addi­ti­on, 90% of its sup­pli­ers are loca­ted less than 300km from its cus­to­mers, thus shor­te­ning the cha­in and envi­ron­men­tal impac­ts lin­ked to tran­s­port and pro­mo­ting the proxi­mity eco­nomy.

Cir­co­olar is not awa­re that ani­mal pro­duc­ts are used in its fabrics. 

The recy­cled fabrics used in Cir­co­olar have the same quality and dura­bi­lity as any fabric that has been made with ​“vir­gin” raw mate­ri­al, such as vir­gin polyes­ter that comes from petro­le­um. The only dif­fe­ren­ce is that the pro­cess of ela­bo­ra­ti­on of the thre­ad starts from the plas­tic pel­lets coming from plas­tic bot­tles and not from petro­le­um. In this way, they achi­eve a pro­duct of simi­lar quality, redu­cing and reco­ve­ring was­te at sour­ce and, of cour­se, faci­li­ta­ting a second life after its use.

In addi­ti­on, Cir­co­olar inclu­des a repa­ir or repla­ce­ment ser­vi­ce for the gar­ments, adap­ting to the needs of the clients!

Cir­co­olar has a tran­s­pa­rent sup­ply cha­in and answers all your ques­ti­ons! If you want to know more deta­ils abo­ut the­ir pro­duc­ts, you can send them an ema­il, they will be hap­py to help you!Circoolar is the first com­pany spe­ci­ali­sed in wor­kwe­ar to be part of theB­Corp community. 

In addi­ti­on, Cir­co­olar has dis­clo­sed to COSH! the name of its sup­pli­ers, manu­fac­tu­ring fac­to­ri­es, and pro­vi­ded the cer­ti­fi­ca­tes, so we can ensu­re that Cir­co­olar has the tra­ce­abi­lity of its pro­duc­ts well done.
