Madrid-headquartered Recover is partnering with Intradeco – a vertically integrated supplier of casual clothing to major retailers across North America headquartered in Miami, Florida – to establish a high volume cotton recycling plant in El Salvador.

The collaboration will enable both companies to capitalise on the growing importance of the CAFTA region, where major global brands and retailers are establishing production hubs in response to recent trade tensions in the Americas.

The new Central American processing plant is strategically located close to textile waste and production streams which will enable it to offer fast lead times while lowering the supply chain’s carbon footprint. Additionally, the initiative will simplify compliance for US textile and apparel manufacturers while also addressing the increasing demand for nearshoring.

Recover’s proprietary process and know-how in producing low-impact, high-quality recycled cotton fibre will be a cornerstone of the joint venture’s operations.

“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.” said Anders Sjöblom, CEO of Recover. “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 changing trade patterns and drive innovation and sustainability in the textile industry,”

“Intradeco is excited to partner with Recover to enhance our production capabilities and deliver high-quality, recycled products at scale to our customers,” added Jaime Miguel, CEO of Intradeco.

Recover now 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 from Recover’s Spanish plant.
