Recover, a recycled cotton fibre and cotton fibre mix producer, and Intradeco, a global vertical manufacturing group, have announced the formation of a strategic joint venture to build a new processing plant for Recover fibres in El Salvador.
The new processing plant in Central America is ideally located near textile waste and production streams and can operate in a cost-effective manner while providing quick lead times and reducing the carbon footprint of the supply chain. The project will also help ease US textile and apparel manufacturers’ compliance with the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act, while addressing the growing interest in all forms of nearshoring.
“We are excited to partner with Intradeco to bring our sustainable textile solutions to the Americas and meet the additional demand for nearshoring in the area. This joint venture is another milestone in our quest to create sustainable large-scale change in fashion while bringing business value and inspiration. Together we will help enable new trading patterns while meeting disruptive innovation and sustainability in the textile space,” says Anders Sjöblom, Recover’s CEO.
“Intradeco is thrilled to collaborate with Recover to expand its production capabilities and provide high-quality recycled products at scale to its customers. This partnership is a big leap forward in our commitment to sustainability,” states Jaime Miguel, CEO of Intradeco.
Recover has affordable, sustainable solutions for brands and retailers in most major textile production countries providing service to customers in countries like Spain, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Pakistan, and now El Salvador. The joint venture will start production in 2025, with shredding responsibilities temporarily conducted from the companies’ Spanish factory.
