Birla Cellulose business head Vadiraj Kulkarni said: “Our partnership with Circulose marks a significant step forward in advancing sustainable and responsible sourcing. Through this collaboration, we reaffirm our commitment to delivering high-quality, sustainability conscious fibre solutions that empower our customers and contribute to a circular future.”

Birla Cellulose, a sustainability-focused man-made cellulosic fibres (MMCF) producer, operates 10 pulp and fibre manufacturing locations and five advanced research centres equipped with pilot plants and facilities.

Circulose, a Swedish sustain-tech company, has developed a patented method that recycles cellulosic textile waste into a new material known as Circulose.

Circulose CEO Jonatan Janmark said: “Over the past year, we have refined our approach to put brands at the centre, with a clear focus on creating offerings that enable mainstream adoption. Achieving this requires closer collaboration with key partners across the value chain. Our partnership with Birla Cellulose is a cornerstone of our strategy, and we’re very excited to have them onboard.”
