Built directly on the ground-breaking consortium framework pioneered by Fashion for Good.
At RE&UP, we’ve always believed that the technology to recycle textiles is only half the battle. The real challenge facing our industry isn’t a lack of innovation – it’s a lack of infrastructure and commercial alignment. Too often, high-quality Next-Gen materials get trapped in the “pilot phase” with brands facing high production costs, low volumes, and fragmented supply chains.
We want to change that.
Today, we are proud to introduce the RE&UP Fiber Club. Built directly on the ground-breaking consortium framework pioneered by Fashion for Good, this initiative is our way of opening our active, industrial capacity to a broader collective of global brands.
How the Fiber Club rewrites the rules
In a traditional supply chain, brands source materials in isolation. In the RE&UP Fiber Club, we aggregate that fragmented demand into consolidated, high-volume orders. By centralizing this purchasing power, we can dismantle the typical roadblocks standing in brands’ way:
- Unlocking lower MOQs: By pooling orders together, brands of all sizes can access premium recycled materials that were previously out of reach due to strict volume requirements.
- Overcoming cost barriers: Consolidated volumes give us true economies of scale. This allows us to offer tiered bulk pricing, helping circular materials reach cost parity with conventional options.
- Streamlining production: No more endless R&D timelines. We offer standardized material specifications for sampling, fully integrated with a pre-vetted supply chain network.
- Closing the loop: This is a true full-circle service. Participating brands have the opportunity to funnel their own textile waste back to us to serve as the very feedstock for their future collections.

FAQs: Transitioning your brand to a circular supply chain
Q: How can fashion brands transition from isolated next-gen material pilots to a permanent circular supply chain?
A: The transition is simple when utilizing a structured, risk-mitigated process. RE&UP and its Fiber Club break this journey down into four clear operational phases designed to easily integrate recycled materials at scale
Consortium structure & alignment: Establishing the framework and aligning key supply chain stakeholders.
Initial material sampling: Reviewing standardized material specifications and aligning on specific supply terms.
Pilot collection development: Designing and launching an initial commercial collection at the individual brand level.
Long-term partnership: Moving past temporary capsules by committing to long-term fiber purchase agreements at predictable, discounted rates.
Q: Are commercial-scale, compliant circular textile solutions available for high-volume production today at RE&UP?
A: Yes. At RE&UP, the baseline for high-volume, compliant circular production is active and operationally ready today. The initiative provides an immediate, plug-and-play solution for forward-thinking brands ready to stop experimenting with isolated sustainability pilots and begin scaling structural, closed-loop sourcing across their primary collections.
Q: Can brands access premium Next-Gen materials with lower MOQs and better pricing through RE&UP and its Fiber Club?
A: Yes. While sourcing alternative materials independently can sometimes come with strict volume thresholds and high entry costs, RE&UP and its Fiber Club offer a cooperative framework to solve this. By pooling demand into consolidated, high-volume orders, we unlock significantly lower Minimum Order Quantities (MOQs) and trigger competitive, tiered bulk pricing structures. This allows brands of all sizes to easily achieve cost parity with conventional, non-circular materials.
