Everywhere Apparel is a Los Angeles-based materials science company that turns textile waste into 100% recycled cotton clothing through its proprietary, GRS-certified CirCot fiber system. Founded in 2019 by three Stanford graduates, it sells blank and custom apparel to brands, bands, screen printers and uniform programs, and closes the loop with a free QR-code take-back program that recycles worn garments back into new products.
Nick Benavides is the cofounder and CEO of Everywhere Apparel, a Los Angeles materials-science company that turns cotton waste into 100% recycled, GRS-certified blank apparel through its CirCot process - no water, no dyes, no microplastics. A Stanford religious-studies grad who went from Bain to helping start the trading app Robinhood, he pivoted from finance to fashion after he and two co-founders, frustrated by the lack of genuinely sustainable band merch for their indie record label, decided to build the supply chain themselves. Everywhere now produces recycled garments for artists like Chappell Roan, Paramore, Wilco and Dead & Co., and was named Counselor's 2025 Sustainability Advocate of the Year.
