Circ®

This year, four Certified B Corps made TIME’s 2026 list of the World’s Most Influential Companies across four different sectors: Circ®, featured as a Pioneer in the flagship TIME100 list, for developing a way to separate polyester from cotton in polycotton blended fabrics, making it possible to recycle the clothes most brands actually produce. They’re now building the world’s first commercial-scale polycotton recycling factory in France. Danone — the world’s largest B Corporation — is also featured in the TIME100 list for partnering with 60,000+ dairy farmers to cut methane emissions, equipping thousands of biodigesters that turn livestock waste into biogas and fertilizer, tracking ahead of their 30%-by-2030 reduction target. Who Gives A Crap, the Australian-based toilet paper company, was named one of TIME's 10 Most Influential Social Good Companies for building a business model where 50% of every sale funds clean water and sanitation projects, with over $14M donated to date. Meow Wolf is featured as one of the Most Influential Travel and Tourism Companies of 2026 for having built an entirely new entertainment category: maximalist, artist-led, story-driven installations that have drawn 13 million visitors across five U.S. cities. Their next challenge? Producing authentic and truly human-made art while continuing to scale. Though in different industries and of different sizes, they’re all redefining the role and impact of business in society, proving that you can do well, do good, and be amongst the most influential companies in the world. Congratulations to all four 👏

Come along for a look at our trip to Textile Exchange's Textiles Recycling Expo USA in Charlotte, North Carolina last week. As the first U.S. event dedicated to textile-to-textile recycling, the Circ® booth was hopping with excitement about our tech capabilities and plans to scale polycotton recycling. Thanks to everyone for stopping by - from seasoned experts to those just starting their circularity journey. Next stop: Challenge the Fabric by Swedish Fashion Council

It’s an honor to be among TIME’s 100 Most Influential Companies for 2026, recognizing the work we’re doing to scale textile-to-textile recycling around the globe. Circular fashion is no longer the future. It’s the new standard. #TIME100Companies

We’re still coming to terms with the loss of someone who meant so much to us. Terence Grasty was a proud father, a loving son, a great friend, and the kind of person who made everyone around him feel seen and welcomed. As one of our recycling technicians, he believed deeply in our mission because he was the kind of person who understood that even the smallest actions can add up to make a meaningful difference in the world. He embodied what we mean at Circ when we say “sharp minds, soft hearts.” His heart, in particular, was as big as they come. He was incredibly easy to talk to, always showing up with warmth, openness, and that infectious, glowing smile. "Big T" looked out for his people, supported his team, and brought a wave of positivity that stayed with you long after you’d spoken with him. It’s hard to put into words the impact he had on all of us in the four years he was with our team. As we gather to honor Terence's life, we’re holding his family, friends, and everyone who knew him close in our thoughts. He will be deeply missed and always remembered. * * * memorial sketch by Veronica (Vee) Dols

Earth Day is nothing special. Not at Circ. 

 Because the planet is at the foundation of everything we do. Solving the global waste problem requires more than awareness. It takes new systems, breakthrough technology, and long-term commitment to rewrite a new future. So while today serves as a moment for reflection, for us, it’s also just another day of building what comes next. At Circ, Earth Day is every day of the year.

Being a B Corp is one thing. Building it is another. Our own Taylor Greene has helped shape Circ®’s impact work from day one and this week, she’s in Milwaukee at B Lab's B Corp Champions Retreat. Say hi if you’re there. 👋🏼 B Lab U.S. & Canada

Circ was on the Hill in D.C. last week shaping the policies that will set textile‑to‑textile recycling up for success in the U.S. On April 14, Christopher Austin and Stephan Ciulla, joined American Circular Textiles (AMCIRC) for a Policy Salon at the Embassy of France in the United States, followed by a day of lobbying with lawmakers. Discussions focused on revitalizing America's textile infrastructure, strengthening supply‑chain security, and preparing for the opportunities emerging EPR policies will create. Leading policy is part of Circ's push toward harmonized frameworks enabling circular systems to scale. After leading policy in Europe through the T2T Alliance, we're proud to be making a difference right here at home.

Team Circ had a productive and inspiring time at FUNCTIONAL FABRIC FAIR (powered by PERFORMANCE DAYS) in Portland last week. 

 A few highlights: 
 * Presenting our work developing one of the only scalable solutions to address the challenge of blended textile waste during the Sustainability Lounge Lunch Break tour. * Seeing Chief Product Officer Teresa Krug represent Circ on the Day Zero Innovator’s Panel for textile‑to‑textile recycling technologies. * Welcoming textile manufacturer Chia Her Industrial Co., Ltd to Circ‑Ready as a valuable new supply chain partner. * Diving into thoughtful, technical, and pleasantly nerdy conversations with fellow innovators and familiar faces. * Reinforcing the importance of collaboration and shared support to bring next-gen recycled fibers to market.
