Circulose加入Canopy兩大永續計畫，攜手推動循環經濟與森林保護

Circulose宣布加入Canopy旗下兩項永續倡議計畫 — CanopyStyle與Pack4Good，攜手全球時尚與包裝業領導品牌，共同守護氣候關鍵森林並保護全球生物多樣性。

Circulose has announced its participation in two of Canopy's sustainability initiatives – CanopyStyle and Pack4Good – partnering with leading brands in the fashion and packaging industries to safeguard climate-critical forests and protect global biodiversity.

CanopyStyle 計畫旨在協助時尚品牌減少對原生森林纖維的依賴，轉而選用以循環再生原料製成的替代性材料。Circulose 作為計畫的一員，致力於提供 100% 由廢棄紡織品製成的 Next Gen 替代材料，協助品牌降低環境影響。

The CanopyStyle initiative aims to help fashion brands reduce their reliance on virgin forest fibers by choosing alternative materials made from circular, regenerated raw materials. As a member of this initiative, Circulose is dedicated to providing Next Gen alternative materials made 100% from discarded textiles to help brands reduce their environmental impact.

目前，每年約有超過 34 億棵樹木因製造人造纖維與紙質包裝而遭砍伐，對全球生態系統構成嚴重威脅。透過加入 CanopyStyle，Circulose 提供可大規模替代原生材料的永續解決方案，推動紡織產業供應鏈轉型。

Circulose 循環事業發展與策略資深總監 Anna Sammarco 博士表示：「每個人都肩負責任，合作是關鍵，但大膽行動才能真正保護自然生態系統。感謝 Canopy 在保護地球方面的不懈努力，並成為我們的重要夥伴。Circulose 完全由廢棄紡織品製成，成功替代原生材料，並已獲得全球市場認可。」

Currently, over 3.4 billion trees are cut down each year to produce artificial fibers and paper packaging, posing a significant threat to global ecosystems. By joining CanopyStyle, Circulose offers a sustainable solution capable of replacing virgin materials on a large scale, driving transformation in the textile industry’s supply chain.

Dr. Anna Sammarco, Senior Director of Circulose’s Circular Business Development and Strategy, stated:

除了 Circulose，Checkpoint Systems、Palouse Fiber Packaging、Medoola、Boden、Nobis、Native Shoes、Bobo Choses、Finisterre、SMCP 與 moodytiger 等 10 家企業亦承諾從紡織與紙質包裝供應鏈中移除原生森林材料，共同打造更永續的產業未來。

Canopy 執行董事 Nicole Rycroft 表示：「我們很高興歡迎這些時尚品牌與創新者加入 CanopyStyle 與 Pack4Good 計畫。他們與同業攜手轉型供應鏈並擁抱循環替代方案，是保護森林、生物多樣性與碳儲存的關鍵一步。」

"Everyone has a responsibility, collaboration is key, but bold action is needed to truly protect natural ecosystems. We thank Canopy for its tireless efforts to protect the planet and for being an important partner. Circulose, made entirely from discarded textiles, successfully replaces virgin materials and has already gained recognition in the global market."

In addition to Circulose, 10 other companies - including Checkpoint Systems, Palouse Fiber Packaging, Medoola, Boden, Nobis, Native Shoes, Bobo Choses, Finisterre, SMCP, and moodytiger - have also committed to removing virgin forest materials from their textile and paper packaging supply chains, collectively working toward a more sustainable industry future.

Nicole Rycroft, Executive Director of Canopy, said:

CanopyStyle 與全球 500 多家時尚業夥伴合作，推動供應鏈現代化、降低企業風險、推廣創新解決方案並倡議森林保育。

"We are thrilled to welcome these fashion brands and innovators to the CanopyStyle and Pack4Good initiatives. By transforming their supply chains and embracing circular alternatives, they are taking a crucial step in protecting forests, biodiversity, and carbon storage."

CanopyStyle works with over 500 fashion industry partners globally to modernize supply chains, reduce corporate risks, promote innovative solutions, and advocate for forest conservation.

Pack4Good 計畫則透過協助品牌減少生態足跡，解決紙質包裝導致的森林砍伐問題，並鼓勵產業領導者創新包裝方式，保護森林資源。至今，Pack4Good 已獲得 449 家企業支持，總年營業額超過 2,874 億美元。

The Pack4Good initiative helps brands reduce their ecological footprint, address the deforestation caused by paper packaging, and encourages industry leaders to innovate packaging methods that protect forest resources. To date, Pack4Good has garnered the support of 449 companies, with a combined annual revenue exceeding $287.4 billion.

去年 11 月，Circulose（前身為 Renewcell）任命前 H&M 執行長 Helena Helmersson 擔任董事會主席，並邀請麥肯錫公司 Jonatan Janmark 出任執行長，進一步強化企業在永續材料領域的領導地位。

In November last year, Circulose (formerly Renewcell) appointed former H&M CEO Helena Helmersson as Board Chair and invited Jonatan Janmark from McKinsey & Company to serve as CEO, further strengthening the company’s leadership position in the sustainable materials sector.

透過此次合作，Circulose 與 Canopy 將攜手推動永續紡織纖維應用，為實現全球供應鏈的循環經濟與環境保護目標貢獻力量。

Through this collaboration, Circulose and Canopy will work together to promote the sustainable application of textile fibers, contributing to global supply chain circular economy and environmental protection goals.
