Vietnam programme

Building CIRKA's first operational activation in Vietnam.

A discovery and system-verification programme connecting secondary-resource data, local production capacity, brands and ecosystem partners.

WHY VIETNAM

A major production ecosystem with an opportunity to retain more value locally.

Vietnam has significant textile and garment production capacity, established international supply relationships and a growing circular-economy ecosystem. At the same time, many post-industrial resources remain fragmented, underused or directed towards lower-value routes.

CIRKA's Vietnam programme will examine how these resources can be connected to real demand and transformed locally into traceable environmental, social and economic value.

PROGRAMME PURPOSE

From discovery to operational evidence.

The programme is designed to understand the ecosystem, verify the operating model and demonstrate how CIRKA can support real resource and production flows.

  • Map available secondary resources and existing data

  • Understand brand, manufacturer and maker demand

  • Identify custodians and local transformation capacity

  • Test matching, allocation and production workflows

  • Record material use, outputs and remaining resources

  • Generate evidence for traceability and programme reporting

  • Identify the commercial and operational requirements for scaling

WHO WE ENGAGE

A cross-sector group is needed to make the system work.

How you can take part

Brands

Share a material or product brief, reporting need, supplier connection or sponsorship opportunity.

Manufacturers

Share resource information, operational challenges and potential material batches.

Makers and custodians

Contribute local production, storage, coordination and transformation capacity.

Technology partners

Connect relevant material, traceability or impact data to the CIRKA workflow.

Researchers

Support methodology, interviews, data analysis and programme validation.

Funders and sponsors

Support discovery, system verification, reporting and local activation.

WHAT THE PROGRAMME WILL DEMONSTRATE

One connected journey from resource data to local value.

  • How resource data enters CIRKA

  • How demand is defined and matched

  • How local partners are selected and coordinated

  • How quantities and production progress are recorded

  • What products and other outputs are created

  • How evidence supports traceability and reporting

  • What operational, environmental, social and economic value is generated
