The BioCircular Materials Alliance (formerly known as the Biosphere Circulation Project) is expanding its network, welcoming Stella McCartney, Marzotto Wool Manufacturing Srl, and Fashion for Good, among 16 new partners, while continuing its collaboration with founding members such as Kering and Goldwin. This growing coalition reinforces the Alliance’s commitment to accelerating the transition to a circular bioeconomy, where biobased waste from textiles, agriculture, and forestry is transformed into valuable new materials.

First Progress Report

In a major milestone, the Alliance has published its first Progress Report, highlighting ongoing efforts to develop a circular materials ecosystem. This includes:

• Collaborative development of an Action Plan, which sets the stage to drive the industry toward a circular bioeconomy
• Creation of the first version of the Materials BioCircularity Database, a resource to guide industry stakeholders in making informed material choices
• Making significant progress toward Product Design Guidelines, which will help fashion industry players integrate biocircularity principles into their design processes

Official Website Now Live

To further support collaboration and knowledge sharing, the official BioCircular Materials Alliance website has been launched. The site will serve as a central hub for updates on the Alliance’s initiatives, including access to the Progress Report, Materials BioCircularity Database, and Product Design Guidelines.
