Turn Secondary Textile Resources into Traceable Local Value
CIRKA connects resource data, demand and local production partners to help brands and manufacturers activate secondary textile resources - while tracking what happens, what is created and value created.
For brands, manufacturers, makers, technology providers and ecosystem partners.
THE REAL PROBLEM
The Material Exists.
The Demand Exists.
The Infrastructure Between Them is Missing.
Secondary textile resources are often recorded inconsistently, held across different facilities and disconnected from suitable demand.
Brands may want to use these resources, but coordinating manufacturers, custodians, makers, logistics and traceability systems is complex.
CIRKA provides the operational layer that connects these parts into one coordinated process.
HOW IT WORKS
From fragmented resources to coordinated circular production and traceability.
CONNECTING MATERIALS, PEOPLE AND DATA TO CREATE MEASURABLE LOCAL VALUE AND IMPACT.
Make circular production operational
- not just aspirational
CIRKA helps brands move from circular commitments to practical, measurable impact.
Access usable resources
Identify relevant secondary resources with the information needed to evaluate them.
Reduce coordination work
Work through one operational system instead of coordinating manufacturers, custodians, makers and technology providers separately.
Follow production progress
See allocations, milestones, material use, outputs, delays and required actions.
Generate stronger evidence
Access structured production data, resource journeys and supporting evidence for traceability and reporting.
Learn what can scale
Understand material suitability, production time, yield, cost and operational constraints before expanding.
Follow one resource from availability to finished output.
A CIRKA project can show how a secondary resource is identified, matched to demand, allocated through local partners and transformed into finished outputs.
1 - 1,000 kg of secondary textile resources recorded
2 - 980 kg confirmed as received
3 - 500 kg allocated to transformation partners
4 - 460 kg incorporated into finished products
5 - 20 kg retained as reusable offcuts
6 - 20 kg recorded as production loss
7 - 250 products created

Specialist technologies.
Local expertise.
One connected operating system.
CIRKA does not replace the technologies and organisations already working across the textile value chain.
We connect material data, operational partners, local production and traceability services into a coordinated system.

VIETNAM PROGRAMME
Starting in Vietnam.
Designed to scale across GLOBAL production ecosystems.
CIRKA is developing its first operational activation in Vietnam, connecting manufacturers, resource data, local custodians, transformation partners, brands and research organisations.
The programme will demonstrate how secondary textile resources can be activated locally while generating traceable environmental, social and economic value.
Help build the infrastructure that makes circular production possible.
We are inviting brands, manufacturers, makers, technology providers, research partners and funders to participate in CIRKA's Vietnam discovery and activation programme.
Not another marketplace.
Not another recycling platform.
Demand-led
Resources are activated against identified demand and viable applications.
Operational
CIRKA coordinates the actors, decisions and actions required to make the process work.
Integration-ready
The model prioritises local transformation and local environmental, social and economic value..
Evidence-based
The platform records material use, production outcomes and the evidence behind reporting claims.
See more than kilograms diverted.
CIRKA helps record the operational reality behind circular production.
Resource availability and demand
Matching and allocation performance
Material received, used and remaining
Production time and output
Material yield and production loss
Local partners and work activated
Supporting evidence and review status
Traceability and external system references
This helps brands understand not only whether a project happened, but how it performed and what can be improved or scaled.
FOR BRANDS
Manage your waste and overstock strategically.
We work with brands to take control of their secondary textile resources.
This includes:
- Overstock and unsold inventory
- Returns and damaged goods
- Dead stock materials
- Off-cuts
- Currently unrecyclable textiles
We design tailored projects based on your materials — coordinating the entire process and delivering full traceability and reporting.
FOR PARTNERS
Be part of the infrastructure
CIRKA is building a distributed ecosystem of partners across the value chain:
- Designers and re-makers
- Circular SMEs
- Sorting and processing facilities
- Logistics providers
- Technology and data partners
- Researchers
Together, we create a system where materials retain value — and outcomes are visible.e.
