Recover™, a global leader in sustainable materials science and a large-scale producer of high-quality recycled cotton fibre and blends, has announced a strategic joint venture with Intradeco, a vertically integrated textile manufacturer and major player in the global apparel sector. This partnership is set to transform textile production in the Western Hemisphere by scaling the production of Recover™’s recycled cotton fibre and advancing circular textile practices.
The joint venture will be headquartered in El Salvador, leveraging its prime geographic position within the Americas to offer nearshore, flexible supply chain solutions. This initiative represents a pivotal step towards developing closed-loop systems and more circular textile models across the region.
Positioned at the heart of the CAFTA (Central America Free Trade Agreement) zone, the new facility will benefit from proximity to key production and waste streams, enabling cost-efficient operations, faster lead times, and reduced carbon emissions. The location also supports US brands and manufacturers in complying with the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA), while meeting the growing demand for nearshoring in response to shifting trade dynamics.
Recover™ will contribute its proprietary recycling technology and expertise in producing low-impact, high-quality recycled cotton fibre—serving as the cornerstone of the joint venture’s operations. This collaboration will harness both companies’ strengths to deliver innovative and sustainable textile solutions at scale.
“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,” said 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,” added Jaime Miguel, CEO of Intradeco.
Recover™ currently serves brands and retailers across major textile production hubs—including Spain, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Pakistan, and now El Salvador—offering cost-effective, sustainable alternatives to conventional fibres.
Operations in El Salvador are scheduled to launch in 2025, with initial shredding processes temporarily handled at Recover™’s facility in Spain.
