Recover™, a producer of recycled cotton fiber and cotton fiber blends, and Intradeco, a global vertical manufacturing group, have announced the formation of a strategic joint venture to construct a new processing plant for Recover fibers in El Salvador.
The new processing plant in Central America is strategically located close to textile waste and production streams, allowing it to operate in a cost-efficient manner, offering fast lead times while lowering the supply chain’s carbon footprint. Additionally, the initiative will simplify compliance with the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act for U.S. textile and apparel manufacturers, while also addressing the increasing demand for nearshoring.
“We are thrilled to partner with Intradeco to bring our sustainable textile solutions to the Americas and address the increasing demand for nearshoring in the region. This joint venture is another step in our journey to enable large-scale sustainable change in fashion through business value and inspiration. Together, we aim to support changed trade patterns and drive innovation and sustainability in the textile industry,” says Anders Sjöblom, CEO of Recover.
“Intradeco is excited to partner with Recover to enhance our production capabilities and deliver high-quality, recycled products at scale to our customers. This partnership represents a significant step forward in our commitment to sustainability,” says Jaime Miguel, CEO of Intradeco.
Recover offers sustainable and cost-competitive solutions for brands and retailers in most major textile production hubs, serving customers from Spain, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Pakistan, and now El Salvador. The joint venture is set to commence operations in 2025, with initial shredding activities being temporarily managed out of Recover’s Spanish factory.
