UK brand M&S partners with Circulose to use recycled textile materials
The partnership will see M&S integrate CIRCULOSE – a next-generation material made of 100% textile waste – into select products, helping to reduce reliance on virgin fibres and accelerate the shift to circular design at scale.
M&S has become the first UK brand to join Circulose as a Scaling Partner, integrating the 100 per cent textile-waste material into selected products to cut virgin fibre use and scale circular design.
The move supports M&S’s 2040 net zero goal and builds on its Another Life initiatives in repair, resale and recycling, with Circulose calling the partnership key to accelerating next-gen fibre adoption.
CIRCULOSE is produced through a patented process that transforms discarded textiles, including production waste and textiles that can no longer be resold or used, into a high-performance material, helping reduce waste, lower emissions, and ease pressure on forests and land.
Katharine Beacham, Head of Sustainability and Materials in Fashion at M&S, said: “Partnering with Circulose allows us to put the concept of circular design into action and will be an example of how the industry can move from small-scale pilots to incorporating next-generation materials at a greater scale.
“By integrating circular materials into our sourcing strategy, we will be reducing reliance on virgin fibres, cutting waste, and helping to build a fashion industry that’s fit for the future.”
Jonatan Janmark, CEO of Circulose, said: “We’re thrilled to welcome M&S as our first Scaling Partner in the UK. Their leadership in sustainability and commitment to circular fashion plays an important role in accelerating adoption of next-generation fibres. This partnership is one of several we are building with leading global brands, with more set to join soon.”
The collaboration builds on M&S’s commitment to become a net zero business across its value chain by 2040 and complements the retailer’s broader work under its Another Life initiative, which brings together initiatives across Rewear, Repair, Recycle and Resale – including resale partnerships with eBay and Reskinned, and a repair service with SOJO.
Katharine added: “This is an exciting next step in our journey to become a net zero business by 2040 and a great example of the ambition behind our Plan A – Another Life initiative.”

The package establishes a modern framework for both sides, enabling frictionless access to a market of 460 million consumers in key sectors, delivering economic benefits to both parties.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and Swiss President Guy Parmelin yesterday signed a broad package of agreements aimed at deepening and expanding EU-Switzerland ties.

By aligning standards and rules in closely integrated areas, it will provide legal certainty, simplify trade in goods like medical devices and food products, and ease cross-border supply for businesses on both sides of the border.
Additionally, it will ensure more consistent rules for individuals who live, work or study across the EU-Swiss border. Switzerland will contribute to the development of legislation in the areas covered by the package and will have the opportunity to influence these rules as they are being designed.
“By modernising and deepening our ties across key sectors, from trade and transport to health and energy—we are strengthening legal certainty, fostering innovation and creating new opportunities for our citizens and businesses,” von der Leyen said in a release from the Commission.
The package includes updates to four already existing agreements, which already give Switzerland access to the EU internal market, regarding air transport, land transport, the free movement of persons and mutual recognition of conformity assessment.
New agreements on food safety, electricity, health and Switzerland’s participation in the EU Agency for the Space Programme were signed. A new agreement introduced a permanent and fair financial contribution by Switzerland to economic and social cohesion within the EU.
Apart from a protocol on parliamentary cooperation, the package includes also a joint declaration on the establishment of a high-level dialogue on the broad bilateral package.
