Recover is making the leap from branded fiber company to fabric supplier.
This week the Spanish materials science company launched Recover Fabrics, a collection of low-impact fabrics made with Recover’s proprietary recycled cotton fiber. The collection is readily accessible to brands of all sizes.
The fabric platform addresses key challenges brands face such as supply chain complexity, certification hurdles and inconsistent quality standards across the industry. Designed for ease and performance, Recover states that the fabrics combine premium feel and durability with measurably lower environmental impact, making it easier for brands to integrate circular materials seamlessly into their collections.

“Recover Fabrics is not just another product launch; it’s about helping brands make sustainability the easy choice without compromising on quality,” said Anders Sjöblom, CEO of Recover. “For example, we recently developed a high-end tailored suit with dramatically lower carbon and water use, in a quality built to last for years. That’s the kind of innovation this platform will deliver at scale.”
Spanning more than 50 fabrics, ranging from everyday essentials to high-end textiles, the four-part collection demonstrates the versatility of recycled cotton fabrics. Most of the fabrics contain 20-30 percent recycled cotton.

“The idea is to simplify and accelerate adoption for brands,” Mercier said.
