Acelon will procure Circ Polyester over the same five-year period to support polyester filament production.
Circ has announced a long-term partnership with Acegreen Eco-Material Technology Co., a subsidiary of Taiwan-based Acelon Chemicals & Fiber Corporation, to establish a commercial agreement that aims to accelerate the adoption of circular materials in the textile industry.
Through the tie up, Acegreen has made a commitment to purchase Circ’s pulp over five years from the firm’s first commercial scale facility. The recycled pulp will be utilised in the production of pre-specified lyocell fibers, enabling brands to integrate recycled materials into their supply chains.
