Cirquel transforms how fashion brands handle returns and excess inventory through their AI-powered platform and local warehouse operations. The Berlin and Barcelona-based company, founded in 2024, takes care of everything from returns and deadstock to overstock and prototypes by inspecting items, arranging cleaning and repairs, then getting them back into circulation through restocking, resale, rental, or responsible recycling.
The platform is designed for brands embracing circular business models, helping them turn returned inventory into value while cutting waste and reducing CO₂ emissions through local processing. This approach not only meets EU compliance and sustainability standards but also opens up new revenue streams for fashion brands.
As a rising player in sustainable fashion logistics, Cirquel recently joined Barcelona's Logistics 4.0 Incubator, positioning itself to help brands rethink their approach to reverse logistics and create more sustainable operations.
