These partnerships support the launch of Recover Fabrics, aiming to accelerate the industry’s shift towards recycled cotton. The initiative boasts over 50 fabrics across four distinct collections, ranging from everyday staples to high-end choices, all ensuring quality, traceability, and scalability. Anders Sjöblom, the company’s CEO, stated, “Recover Fabrics is not just a product launch; it’s about helping brands make sustainability the easy choice without compromising on quality.”
In addition to the collaborations with TMG and Textil Santanderina, Recover has introduced two more lines within this initiative:
Recover has also launched Recover Blanks, a collection of customizable, unbranded basics designed to encourage brands to utilize circular materials.
Founded in 2020 and located in Banyeres de Mariola, Alicante, Recover is a spin-off from the esteemed Hilaturas Ferre, established by the Ferre family in 1914. The company specializes in the mechanical recycling of cotton and textile blends and is supported by investment funds Story3 Capital and Goldman Sachs.
ABB and Swedish textile impact company Syre have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to explore how automation, electrification, and digital technologies can support the development of Syre’s first industrial-scale textile-to-textile recycling facility in Gia Lai province, Vietnam.
The exploratory collaboration provides a framework to assess how advanced process control, quality optimization, and electrical infrastructure can enable safe, efficient, and scalable production of circular polyester.
UK retailer Aldi and dairy cooperative Arla Foods have partnered with recycling tech specialist Polytag to initiate an operational pilot aimed at tracking milk bottles through the UK recycling stream using advanced ultraviolet (UV) tagging technology.
Building on an initial pilot conducted in 2023, the collaboration seeks to gather granular, data-driven insights into how packaging moves beyond the point of sale and behaves within municipal waste systems.
GreenDot France is exploring the acquisition of French Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) operator Léko, a move that could significantly reshape the country’s waste management and recycling landscape. The potential transaction aims to strengthen collection infrastructure, improve sorting networks, and accelerate the transition toward a circular economy in France.
