Our StoryVision & Values

We are building the infrastructure that makes textile circularity work. Combining industry expertise, technology, and a reuse-first approach, we connect the people, processes, and systems needed to keep textiles in circulation.

Rooted in Circular Economy & Innovation

Our Mission

We connect regulation, technology, and communities to transform textile waste into a circular, reuse-first system.

Founded in Stockholm in 2023, Cyclothe develops integrated physical and digital infrastructure for textile circularity, connecting collection, traceability, and intelligent sorting in a reuse-first system.

We believe meaningful change can only happen when behavior change, regulation, and disruptive innovation work hand in hand.

By creating tools that empower participation and enhance transparency, we accelerate the transition to a truly circular textile future.
