Technology Platform for Circular Fashion Design
San Francisco, California — March 13, 2026— Dhana Inc., a fashion technology company developing digital infrastructure for circular apparel design, today announced its fourth recertification as a Certified B Corporation™, reaffirming the company’s commitment to building technology that enables a more sustainable and collaborative global fashion industry.
The recertification recognizes Dhana’s continued leadership in integrating technology innovation with environmental and social impact, particularly through its digital platform D/Sphere, which enables designers, brands, and consumers to co-create garments using circular materials and collaborative design tools.
Certified B Corporations™ meet rigorous standards of verified social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability, with companies undergoing a comprehensive assessment every three years. In its most recent evaluation, Dhana Inc. achieved a B Impact score of 102.6, significantly exceeding the certification threshold of 80 and well above the typical business median.
Technology at the Core: The D/Sphere Platform
While many fashion companies approach sustainability through incremental improvements to materials or supply chains, Dhana’s strategy focuses on rebuilding the design and production system itself through technology.
At the center of this approach is D/Sphere, a digital platform designed to enable the next generation of fashion creation.
D/Sphere provides tools that allow designers, brands, and consumers to collaboratively design garments using digital pattern systems and circular materials. The platform supports customizable products, collaborative workflows, and localized manufacturing models aimed at reducing waste and overproduction.
“D/Sphere represents a shift from traditional fashion production to a collaborative digital ecosystem,” said Shamini Dhana, Founder and CEO of Dhana Inc.
“Instead of designing products for mass production and inventory, we are building technology that enables garments to be designed, customized, and produced in ways that reduce waste while empowering creativity.”
The platform integrates digital design workflows, material libraries, and collaborative creation tools, enabling new models of fashion production.
Building Digital Infrastructure for Circular Fashion
The global fashion industry produces more than 100 billion garments each year, with significant environmental impact. Dhana’s technology initiatives aim to address these systemic challenges by enabling design-led circularity.
D/Sphere supports a new generation of design workflows including:
Digital Garment Creation
Designers can build garments using digital pattern panels that can be modified and recombined to create unique pieces.
Circular Material Integration
The platform incorporates libraries of second-life and reclaimed materials, supporting upcycling and circular material flows.
Collaborative Design
Multiple stakeholders—including brands, designers, and consumers—can participate in the design process, shifting fashion creation from a top-down system to a collaborative network.
Customizable Production
Garments created through the platform can be produced on demand, reducing inventory waste and enabling localized production networks.
These capabilities allow D/Sphere to function not only as a design tool but as a digital infrastructure layer for circular fashion production.
Fashion Technology Meets Impact
Dhana’s B Corp™ recertification reflects the company’s commitment to ensuring that technological innovation also delivers measurable environmental and social value.
“Technology alone does not solve sustainability challenges,” Dhana said.
“Technology must be built with purpose, transparency, and collaboration. That is what B Corp™ certification represents for us.”
Through D/Sphere and its broader initiatives, Dhana is working to support several global sustainability goals, including:
• Reducing textile waste through circular design systems
• Enabling responsible production and consumption
• Supporting transparent and collaborative supply chains
• Empowering designers and creators globally
The Future: AI, 3D Design, and Collaborative Creation
Looking ahead, Dhana plans to expand the capabilities of the D/Sphere platform by integrating emerging technologies that enhance digital garment creation and collaborative design.
Future development areas include:
Real-time 3D garment visualization
allowing designers and customers to preview garments digitally.
AI-assisted design tools
to accelerate design workflows and support creative experimentation.
Multi-user collaborative design environments
enabling designers, brands, and communities to co-create products in real time.
Digital-to-production pipelines
that connect digital designs directly to manufacturing partners.
These innovations aim to transform D/Sphere into a global platform for circular fashion innovation, bridging creativity, technology, and sustainable production.
A Growing Global Movement
Dhana Inc. joins a global community of over 8,000 Certified B Corporations™ across more than 90 countries; all committed to redefining how business contributes to society.
For Dhana, the recertification reflects both progress and responsibility.
“Our fourth B Corp™ certification reminds us that innovation must be accountable,” Dhana said. “As we build the next generation of fashion technology, we are committed to ensuring it supports both people and the planet.”
