Following a new strategic agreement, Selenis, headquartered in Portalegre, Portugal, will toll and polymerize thousands of metric tons of Circ Polyester at industrial scale annually.

This news comes hot on the heels of President Macron’s May announcement of a a new €450 million plant in France to be based on the polycotton textile-to-textile recycling technology of Danville, Virginia-headquartered Circ.

The new industrial collaboration will enable Circ to leverage the proven polymerization infrastructure and technical expertise of Selenis to transform recycled monomers from end-of-life textiles into high-quality Circ Polyester, ready for application across apparel categories including activewear, basics and fashion.

The result is a scalable, circular solution that integrates seamlessly into existing supply chains.

“Selenis has been a long-standing partner in our journey and we’re proud to take this next step with them to bring Circ Polyester to market at industrial volumes,” said Circ CEO Peter Majeranowski. “This is also a defining moment that affirms Circ’s dual-product strategy – offering both recycled lyocell and polyester as we meet growing demand for circular materials across categories.”

“This partnership reflects our commitment to reducing waste and scaling up advanced recycling solutions,” added Duarte Matos Gil, CEO of Selenis. “Circularity is no longer a concept but  must become an industrial reality. Whether it is bottle-to-bottle or textile-to-textile, the goal is the same – materials must complete a full life cycle and return as high-quality products, again and again. A bottle should become a new bottle, not downcycled. A garment should be reborn as another garment, not wasted. To achieve this at scale, we need both innovation and regulation. Supportive, forward-looking legislation is essential to unlock investment and create a level playing field for truly circular systems.”
