Fabrics made of a blend of polyester and cotton are a staple of fast fashion but are hard to break down and worsening a global waste crisis. The 450 million euro ($510 million) plant will be in Saint-Avold, France, and construction is set to begin in 2026. The facility will have the capacity to process 70,000 metric tons of polycotton material per year, according to the company. It is expected to be fully operational by 2028 and create 200 direct and indirect jobs.<\/p>\n<p>Danville, Virginia-based Circ surveyed dozens of sites, including in North America and Asia, before deciding on France, amid a US pullback from clean-tech funding under the Trump administration. Circ\u2019s chemical process separates the polyester and cotton fibers in blended clothing material into two recycling streams, which is very difficult to do mechanically. The fibers are then purified so they can be reused.<\/p>\n<p>Circ has previously received investment from Patagonia, Inditex (Zara\u2019s parent company) and the European fashion platform Zalando SE. The project was announced by President Emmanuel Macron\u2019s administration at the 2025 Choose France summit, the country\u2019s annual economic development showcase.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/ww.fashionnetwork.com\/news\/Us-fashion-recycling-startup-to-build-500-million-plant-in-france,1732661.html\">Fashion Network<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/7-714\/\">US fashion recycling startup to build $500 million plant in France<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22,1],"tags":[18875,575,18876,561,655],"class_list":["post-140148","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","category-yleinen","tag-circ","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-fashion-recycling","tag-france","tag-yleinen"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/140148","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=140148"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/140148\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=140148"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=140148"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=140148"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
