Recover expands recycled fibre offering with new collection without overdyeing

Madrid – The Spanish company Recover, backed by Goldman Sachs, is a global leader in the industrial production of recycled cotton and other circular material solutions for the textile and fashion industries. The company is now diversifying and expanding its product offering with the launch of “Recover One”. This is a new collection of fibres made entirely from recycled materials. As a key innovation, they are presented as ready-to-use, without the need for the previously required traditional dyeing processes.

As part of its diversification and innovation strategies in material science and sustainability, Recover has announced the launch of “Recover One” from October 8. This is the name given to its new collection of recycled fibres for the textile and fashion industry. The collection of textile solutions will be sold as both yarns and perfectly finished, ready-to-use fabrics. They will not require subsequent overdyeing processes to serve as a raw material for garments requested by brands and manufacturers. Recover states that eliminating the overdyeing process serves several purposes. Firstly, it simplifies the production processes for yarn manufacturers; secondly, it optimises their sales to textile product manufacturers; and thirdly, it reduces the environmental impact throughout the textile industry's value chain. This move also promotes the industrial-scale use of Recover's commercial recycled product offerings within the sector.

“With Recover One, we make it easier for brands and manufacturers to use recycled materials on a large scale,” emphasised Enes Adak, co-chief executive officer and chief product officer of Recover, in a statement released by the Spanish company. He added that “by combining our recycled cotton with recycled polyester,” and without the need for subsequent overdyeing processes, “we offer a homogeneous blend that simplifies production and helps to reduce costs.” This is an advance that, he added, “combines sustainability and business value.”

No overdyeing processes, with “the durability and comfort of conventional blends”

According to environmental impact measurements managed by Recover and verified by the specialist consultancy EcoReview in 2022 and 2025, using Recover's recycled cotton fibres can save up to 99 percent in water consumption and up to 93 percent in carbon emissions compared to using conventional cotton fibres. The new Recover One fibre collection allows for additional reductions by eliminating overdyeing processes, although the company has not yet provided details on these estimates.

Analysing the solutions offered in this new collection, the textile company states that Recover One fibres are composed of Recover's recycled cotton fibres and recycled polyester fibres. These raw materials are combined in different percentages to create the various yarns and fabrics in this collection. Depending on the variation, the products are suitable for a range of uses and applications, from single jersey to fleece garments. As a key differentiator, Recover highlights that the fibres are sold as a chromatically and materially homogeneous blend ready for spinning, or directly as fabrics, neither of which require overdyeing. This production stage is eliminated by pre-harmonising the original colours of the raw materials from textile waste used as the basis for manufacturing the sustainable fibres of the Recover One collection.

“By carefully coordinating the colours of its recycled inputs, Recover One eliminates the need for subsequent dyeing processes,” which “reduces processing time, environmental impact and material costs, offering spinners and brands a more cost-effective alternative to conventional recycled cotton blends,” the textile innovation company stated. In this way, “Recover One leverages the reduced environmental impact of Recover's recycled cotton and enhances it further by eliminating the overdyeing process.” The fibres have been specially designed to “drive the textile industry's transition towards greater circularity.” They are sold ready to be used “to create soft, smooth, high-performance fabrics for a wide range of applications,” with “the durability and comfort of conventional cotton and polyester blends.”
