CIRCULARITY IN ACTION

ASC Collaboration

For ASC, we transformed surplus deadstock DWR (water-resistant) fabric into 50 high-quality product covers—keeping materials out of landfills and turning waste into useful inventory. It’s a practical example of circularity with business value.

What We Can Make

We specialize in both ready-to-wear and specialty products using upcycled materials—from clothing, outerwear, and accessories to home and industrial covers—so valuable textiles stay in use, not in landfills.

  • Upcycle surplus textiles into high-quality, functional products
  • One-of-a-kind editorial pieces or limited drops
  • Scalable production with volume pricing
  • Specialty outputs: clothing, outerwear, accessories, and home/industrial covers
