Recover expands and enters the distribution of fabrics and clothing

The Spanish company Recover is considered a world-leading pioneer in the production of recycled cotton fibers. Now it is expanding its operations and starting to produce and distribute eco-friendly fabrics and complete garments.

These products are now available to all interested companies. The aim is to “democratize” the use of environmentally friendly fibers in the fashion and textile industries, explained Recover. The new offerings should therefore be made accessible to both large corporations and small, up-and-coming brands.

Recover combines its expertise in textile recycling and fiber production with that of leading manufacturers on the Iberian Peninsula. These include the Portuguese company TMG and the Spanish textile Santanderina. The company announced the launch of “Recover Fabrics” on Tuesday. This is a new line of eco-friendly ready-made textiles made from Recover’s patented, recycled cotton fibers.

The “Fabric Library” is designed for direct use in the value chains of textile and fashion companies. The company also presented its new own brand “Recover Blanks”. In this category, Recover also offers a selection of ready-made basic clothing items for partner companies.

Anders Sjöblom, CEO of Recover, explained the innovations in a statement: “This is not just another product launch. It’s about helping brands easily implement sustainability without compromising on quality,” he explained, referring to the launch of “Recover Fabrics”.

“For example, we recently developed a high-quality tailored suit with drastically reduced water and carbon consumption,” says Sjöblom. “The quality ensures it will last for years. That’s the kind of innovation this platform will deliver at scale.” The introduction of “Recover Blanks” is intended to further promote the acceptance of recycled cotton fibers in the industry. It offers fashion companies access to “a collection of unbranded, ready-to-wear basics,” he emphasized.

Recover, with its partners TMG and Textil Santanderina, offers a “complete library” of ready-made fabrics

Recover Fabrics includes more than 50 fabrics. These are now marketed in The Elite Collection, The Premier Collection, The Core Collection and Essential Denim Collection product lines.

These fabric collections can be used for making everyday basics to unique, fine and exclusive designs. According to the company, this versatility underlines Recover’s commitment to providing accessible and scalable textile solutions. This is intended to meet the needs of large chains as well as those of small, independent brands.

“The Elite Collection” was developed in collaboration with the Portuguese manufacturer TMG. The product line includes high-quality fabrics specifically designed for the production of shirts, jackets and high-quality outerwear. “The Premier Collection” was created in cooperation with the Spanish company Textil Santanderina. It offers a selection of “sophisticated flatweaves,” says Recover. These are ideal for making casual and formal style chinos, jackets and shirts.

The line “The Core Collection” completes the offering, although the manufacturing partner is not named. Here Recover sells fabrics made from its recycled “RCotton” cotton fibers. Companies receive a basic range of more sustainable materials. These are suitable for making sweaters, T-shirts, sweatshirts or training pants. The fourth line “Essential Denim Collection” offers industry companies access to more environmentally friendly denim fabric. This can be used for making jeans and jackets.

“Each fabric combines Recover’s recycled cotton fibers with cutting-edge textile innovations from world-renowned manufacturers. This achieves unparalleled quality in recycled cotton fabrics,” explains Recover in a statement. The product line includes “more than 50 fabrics in four carefully selected collections, ranging from everyday basics to elegant high-end textiles,” it continues.

Recover Blanks offers ready-made garments

In addition to the distribution of fabrics, Recover is also venturing into the distribution of complete garments with the introduction of the “Recover Blanks” category. With this new division, the Spanish company offers fashion companies access to a collection of unbranded basic clothing items. These can be purchased and used as a basis for a more sustainable and environmentally friendly fashion offering.

“To further promote the adoption of recycled cotton fibers, Recover has developed ‘Recover Blanks’. This is a basic collection of ready-to-wear, unbranded garments such as T-shirts, sweatshirts, sweaters or sports pants,” the company explained. “It is aimed at customers who are looking for ready-made, sustainable basics.”

By moving beyond raw fiber supply and into finished fabrics and ready-to-wear clothing distribution, Recover is taking “a giant step in its mission to close the loop in fashion,” it said in a statement. With these two new categories, Recover offers “a traceable, scalable and environmentally friendly solution that combines fiber innovation with textile excellence.” This would address key challenges such as supply chain complexity, certification difficulties and inconsistent quality standards across the industry.

“This launch encapsulates Recover’s vision: to combine real commercial value with high-quality recycled materials and inspire fashion brands to design quickly, creatively and sustainably,” the company said.

According to the recycling specialist, this commitment was underpinned by the two new pillars of the business model. They were therefore specifically developed to “democratize” the use of sustainable fibers. This gave “brands of all sizes, from large retail chains to emerging brands, easy access to high-quality, eco-friendly fabrics,” Recover highlighted.
