2022 - Current
The Global Circular Network connects products to a circular economy; connecting traceability with Extended Product Responsibility using RFiD THREADS® digital product passport, the world's first bulk scanning radio frequency washable thread linked to a cloud app. Creates communication, collaboration and compliance while providing verifiable Impact Rating Certification. The platform takes brands from linear to "circular-ish" and ultimately to interconnected, inclusive, and profitable circular economy systems. It offers financial, environmental, and social benefits through bulk order collaboration and invites Global Consortium Partnerships. B2C tools direct customers to R-cycle networks, the crucial "middle of circularity." Networks facilitate the recovery, resale, rental, repair, redesign, remaking & repurposing of products before recycling and extend product life & reduce emissions. Connects products & supply chains to open-source circularity through innovative reverse logistics value chain connectivity. By integrating human-centered design with smart tech tools we link people & services plus collect LCA data. Brands enhance loyalty, transparency & education using powerful B2C tools including QR codes and NFC rings. These tools are added by manufacturers, brand owners & retailers plus redirect to R-cyclers. Bulk scanning distinguishes products, including fibers and hazardous chemicals in bulk lots, to support semi-automated and automated material flows and provide safer feedstocks. Empower R-cyclers to become interconnected, efficient, and financially sustainable with access to instant, free, unfakeable authentication. Brands and retailers can connect to SCM and aggregation systems, as well as collaborative responsibility and impact measurement frameworks. This opens a new era of possibility for digitally connected products. Discover the impact we can achieve together through this collaborative network.

STSC are fabric wholesalers who aim to inspire global fashion and product designers to use sustainable eco-textiles that have minimal negative impact on the environment and maximum impact on the welfare of all people along the supply chain. Our ethically sourced textiles include natural silk-grade Banana Sylk, GOTS Organic Cotton, Ayurvastra herbal medicated Organic Cotton, plus Organic Cotton blended with recycled cotton and Indian Hemp. We offer Organic Cotton Khadi handspun and a range of handwoven fabrics, including peace silks; Eri Silk, Gajji Silk and Tussar Silk. STSC's particular focus is on beautiful, sustainable and biodegradable natural plant fabrics made from so-called "waste" fibres that are removed after a harvest. We aim to support farming communities who often pay highly to remove the crop waste, which is often burnt, adding to air pollution. Crops include banana, aloe vera, areca nuts and pineapple; this essentially makes these fibres zero water waste. When combined with Fairtrade GOTS Organic Cotton we call them Hybrid Eco-Blends. We also wholesale world-renowned closed-loop eco-fabrics direct from the creators LENZING™ selling cellulose fabrics derived from wood pulp including Tencel, Modal and their newest, and most environmentally sustainable and biodegradable fabric, ECOVERO™. What also sets us apart is that you can choose fabrics that are either dyed using GOTS accredited dyes or pure plant based dyes; addressing our key concerns of water conservation in fabric production. www.sustainabletextiles.club

The Circular Centre is a social enterprise and the world's first sustainable and fully circular design system for textiles and textile waste. View our CIRCULARITY Workshops for councils, companies, charities + communities to set up circular textile waste solutions. Plus Circularity #4 to help fashion + garment designers create circular Product Stewardship Schemes, link to Smart Materials Passports and resource recovery solutions. Globally we REPLACE the bad with 500+ true sustainable + home compostable textiles (yes even activewear, swimwear + underwear). Locally, through our Australian Circular Textile Waste Service we reuse, repair, redesign, repurpose and resell through four main circular textile systems to design out waste and pollution. Think of a circular jigsaw where garment + textile resources come in and out of our circular systems to ensure they stay local and out of landfill plus the resources remain at their highest value for longer. We have created Australian partnerships to foster innovation, jobs and training with a particular focus on creating wonderful teams with Australian disability enterprises. Currently we have 23 innovative circular streams to keep all jobs and resources onshore. www.circularcentre.com.au
