\"eBay\"<\/h4>\n

eBay is expanding its Circular Fashion Fund in 2026 to applications from businesses and startups across the EU, Switzerland, and Canada for the first time.<\/h4>\n

Eight selected businesses will receive $50,000 in funding, alongside mentoring to develop solutions that extend the life of clothing and reduce textile waste.<\/p>\n

The annual programme, first launched in 2022, aims to support entrepreneurs tackling the fashion and textile industry\u2019s environmental footprint.<\/p>\n

One business will also be named the Global Winner of the Circular Fashion Fund and have the opportunity to receive an additional $300,000 investment from eBay Ventures.<\/p>\n

With this expansion, eBay\u2019s total global funding through the programme is set to reach $1.9 million by the end of 2026.<\/p>\n

Alongside expanding into new markets for this year, the Circular Fashion Fund already accepts applications from the UK, Germany, Australia, and the U.S. Applications<\/a><\/u> for 2026 are now open for all markets until March 8, 2026.<\/p>\n

Since 2022, eBay says its Circular Fashion Fund has invested in and provided mentoring to over 25 businesses.<\/p>\n

Alexis Hoopes, vice president and global head of fashion at eBay, commented: “When we launched the Circular Fashion Fund, we set out to support the businesses turning circularity from ambition into action.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOver the past three years, we\u2019ve seen scalable solutions emerge in areas like textile recycling, resale and repair \u2013\u00a0but these businesses need capital and support to grow. With this expansion, we\u2019re helping more founders build the infrastructure to make circular fashion an integral part of the fashion industry.”<\/p>\n
