Circ: Funding, Investors & Team (Sep 2026)

Circ's goal is to satisfy consumers' demands for sustainability while retaining quality, affordability and convenience for industries. The company takes discarded clothing and recycles it to manufacture fabrics using both plant-based and petroleum-based materials. Tyton, Circ's primary product, is a virgin-equivalent substance made from market-grade dissolving pulp and petroleum monomers, which manufacturers can purchase at the same cost as traditional virgin materials to create various fibers such as cotton, polyester, and nylon. With water as its primary solvent, Circ aims to recycle these materials in a cost-effective manner. The company was established in 2011 and operates out of Danville, Virginia.

About FundedIQ's Circ Funding Data

FundedIQ tracks announced funding rounds and refreshes this profile every week. Round dates, stages and amounts are normalised to a single format, converted to US dollars, and de-duplicated: two records of the same round announced days apart are merged, and two genuinely different rounds are kept apart on the amounts they disclose. Amounts shown are the disclosed figures only — a round announced without a number is listed and excluded from the total rather than estimated.

Employee counts are reported bands, not exact headcounts. Founder and executive names carry the job title on record. Anything we do not hold for Circ is left off this page rather than filled in.
