SuperCircle Raises $24 Million to Scale AI Textile Recovery

The platform equips retailers for looming EPR rules by using garment-level data to route unwanted inventory to approved next uses.

Overview

  • Foundry led the Series A with participation from BBG Ventures, Renewal Fund and Elemental Impact.
  • New capital will build machine-learning and product-identification models, expand technical hiring and integrate sorting technology more deeply across retailer supply chains.
  • SuperCircle works with more than 75 brands and processes over 650,000 units per week at an 80,000-square-foot Las Vegas facility, with collection across about 2,200 stores.
  • Growth plans call for a comparable East Coast site in 2026 and two smaller satellite facilities to increase capacity.
  • The company routes items to brand-approved resale, donation and recycling partners and frames its data and reporting as a compliance solution for emerging textile EPR laws, even as adoption and downstream recycling capacity remain bottlenecks.
