Local Circular Fashion Movements. Global Impact
Circular Fashion 360 activates independent circular fashion entrepreneurs and aligns them with strategic ecosystem partners to transform textile waste into local economic value.
We are building the infrastructure "re-made" fashion has been missing.
WHAT is CIRCULAR FASHION 360?
Circular Fashion 360 integrates circular business education with real infrastructure development — ensuring knowledge translates into viable economic action.
WE operate across three integrated layers.
Founder Activation
A global collective of independent circular fashion entrepreneurs building viable reuse-based businesses.
Infrastructure Alignment
Strategic partners (sorters, recyclers, retailers, suppliers, technology actors) co-designing functional reuse systems.
Impact Implementation
Regional pilot programs delivering traceable redistribution, local value retention, and measurable social and environmental impact.
We are not here to build another platform. We are building the infrastructure circular fashion has been missing.
THE SYSTEM GAP
The fashion industry doesn’t lack intention. It lacks coordination.
Every year, 92–100 million tonnes of textiles are discarded. Less than 15% are reused or recycled.
Meanwhile, independent circular founders lack structured access to materials, sorting and redistribution systems remain disconnected, SMEs operate in isolation, and local communities lose economic value from reusable resources — leaving circular innovation fragmented and in need of coordinated infrastructure, which is exactly what Circular Fashion 360 exists to build.
“By empowering founders to build a stronger business, we lay the foundations for a better, more circular fashion industry.”
Building Collective Resilience for a Rapidly Changing World.
Circular Fashion 360 operates through our proprietary 5C Framework — a structured operating system designed specifically for independent circular fashion entrepreneurs.
Most circular founders struggle not because they lack passion or creativity — but because they are navigating:
• Complex sustainability standards
• Fragmented supply chains
• Pricing pressure and margin constraints
• Isolated decision-making
• Confusion between impact goals and commercial survival
The 5C Framework was developed to solve these structural tensions.
It integrates sustainability, strategy, and commercial viability into one coherent system — ensuring circular businesses are resilient, not fragile.
10th
Experience
How the 5C Framework Supports Brand Resilience:
1, Circularity: Reuse-first design and resource optimisation that preserves environmental and economic value.
2, Clarity: Define strategies for materials, production, storytelling, and market positioning — giving brands focus and direction.
3, Connection: Build relationships with peers, mentors, collaborators, and supply chain partners to overcome challenges collectively.
4, Commercialisation: Turn circular ideas into market-ready products, unlocking new revenue streams and growth opportunities.
5, Consistency: Systems, habits, and leadership discipline that sustain circular success.
The 5C Framework is the foundation of viable circular economies because it embeds reuse, strategy, collaboration, and revenue into one integrated system. Sustainable businesses do not survive on passion alone — they survive on structure.
“They are the absolute Dream team and their skills and personalities cater to your every need, making you feel so at ease and empowering you to believe you can do it, followed by the tools to actually do it. They have you covered every step along the process and I can honestly say that I was not the same person at the end as I was at the start.”
“Since I have started my brand I have taken various seminars and courses but this brought me to the next level. Everything got more clear, my marketing took off and I managed/ learned how to cut my expenses just by learning how to organize my business better and that’s apart from the fantastic people that I met. I hands-down recommend this to anybody who is starting or has started their own fashion brand!!!!”
"I am so happy that I came across the program and the lovely people, as well as the community behind. I was a total newby with my brand and I was trying hard - but without the skill ... without the plan ...but they gave me both and I am happy that I can still get help and insights what to do next and how to place my brand best. I am really grateful for you guys!"

• Influence how the system evolves in its earliest phase
You are part of building the system — not consuming it.
The First 30 Will Shape What Comes Next
We are limiting this phase to 30 Founding Co-Creators because the foundation matters.
The first cohort will:
• Shape the culture of this movement
• Influence early governance and infrastructure design
• Help prove that founder-led circular economies can work
This is not the scale phase.
This is the build phase.
As a Founding Co-Creator, you step into:
• Greater clarity in how you grow your circular business
• Stronger alignment between impact and income
• A collective of serious builders — not spectators
• Early proximity to the infrastructure being developed
We don’t promise overnight scale.
We build foundations that last.
Once the first 30 are in place, founding recognition closes and the opportunity to shape the system shifts.
If you’ve been waiting for something more structured, more aligned, and more collaborative — this is your moment.
