Statement from Canopy welcoming announcement of Circulose mill reopening

“The reopening of the Circulose mill is very welcome news. It’s fantastic for brands and fibre producers committed to avoiding inputs from forests that are important for our climate and species,” said Nicole Rycroft, Founder and Executive Director of Canopy. “As conventional wood sources are increasingly regulated and compromised by climate disruptions, scaling up production of Next Gen alternatives is essential for the fashion sector to secure a more resilient supply. Congratulations to the Circulose and Altor teams - along with the brand and producer partners who have stepped forward to anchor their reopening. They are charting the course for circularity in textiles.”
