Recover

Every year, 48 Million Tonnes of clothing are thrown away, with over 70% ending up in landfills or incinerators. Less than 1% are recycled into new clothes.

Recover™ transforms textile waste into sustainable recycled fibres, closing the loop on fashion. The aim of this is to promote a circular economy within the fashion industry.

Recover™ is a leading materials science company and global producer of low-impact, high-quality recycled cotton fibre and fibre blends.

What they produce:

• fibre made from unblended recycled cotton fibre, suitable for overdyeing, using minimal solvents and water.

• Recycled cotton fibres which are blended with other carriers' fibres that have been low impact dyed to create new fibres, in a full spectrum of unique colours and at the lowest environmental cost.

Furthermore, Recover uses:

• 14,740 litres of water less

• 56KwH less power

• 23KG less of CO2

In their production process than their competitors.

Transparency

They believe transparency is the principal driver of change in the industry. Recover™ measures and reports on the environmental performance and social compliance of its fibre products and facilities. All claims are supported by third-party certifications and standards as well as studies that Recover™ has conducted using the LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) methodology. Recover™ uses Global Recycled Standard (GRS) certification - the current industry standard for tracing recycled content - to ensure traceability of recycled content from the waste suppliers up to the final product.
