CirCon#37: 4 Circular Startups and an Invite to the Circular Tech Awards [sponsored by Phonecheck]
A huge thank you to Phonecheck for sponsoring this week’s newsletter 🥳.

Phonecheck is a market-leading device certification platform for used mobile phones, tablets, laptops, smartwatches, and AirPods. Their advanced diagnostics and secure data-wipe solutions help businesses build trust, boost sales, and reduce returns - all powerful enhancers of the circular economy.
There’s a lot going on. Let’s get stuck in!
Circular Showcase
Companies of all shapes and sizes make up the circular economy (hence why we’re building a capture all global business directory), but the ones worthy of high attention and support are circular startups.
Here are four innovators we’ve been fortunate enough to engage with recently:
Eslando
📍 UK
🔗 https://www.eslando.com/
Eslando is a marketplace revolutionising textile recycling by connecting waste textile collectors, fibre‑to‑fibre recyclers, manufacturers, and traders on one transparent platform, making it simple to source, trade, and optimise post‑industrial textile waste as recycled feedstock.
RESEAT
📍 US
🔗 https://reseatuk.welltek.co/
RESEAT delivers circular solutions for office furniture through a second-life marketplace, digital product passports, sustainability reporting, and remanufacturing services. Originally launched in California and now operating in the UK, RESEAT enables seamless trade‑in, audit, and refurbishment workflows.
Cirkel Supply
📍 Switzerland
🔗 https://cirkelsupply.com/
Cirkel Supply offers a circular alternative to owning outdoor gear by renting high-quality ski clothing and delivering it directly to Swiss destinations. Backed by trusted brands like Patagonia, Mammut, and Picture, the service allows skiers and riders to rent instead of buy, reducing waste.
Loamist
📍 US
🔗 https://www.loamist.com/
Loamist offers geospatial AI-powered compliance and traceability tools for supply chains. Their Loamist Validator™ platform transforms unstructured documents into structured, verifiable data, delivering real-time dashboards, sustainability metrics, and supply‑chain transparency.
