Recover, the recycled fibre company has announced plans to open a new manufacturing facility in Vietnam in early 2025. This marks a significant milestone in the company’s global expansion strategy, aimed at fostering large-scale sustainability in the country’s textile industry.
The new facility, located in Dong Nai, will leverage Vietnam’s position as a key textile hub. With proximity to both textile waste sorting and manufacturing operations, the location will help minimise shipping costs and enhance operational efficiency. The 14,000-square-meter facility will feature two recycling lines and an annual production capacity of 10,000 metric tons. Its primary output will be Recover’s signature RMix product, a blend of recycled cotton and polyester.
Anders Sjöblom, CEO of Recover, highlighted the strategic importance of this development:
“Circularity is currently an underutilized tool for the Vietnamese textiles industry, and by bringing our advanced technology to a key textile hub, we are not only enhancing how we serve our customers by expanding our global manufacturing footprint but also creating a positive shift towards circularity in Vietnam.”
Recover’s expansion is in response to growing global demand for recycled materials from brands and retailers. The company, headquartered in Madrid, already operates facilities in Spain, Bangladesh, and Pakistan. Vietnam’s facility is its latest step in creating a more sustainable future for textiles.
Recover, which counts brands like Perry Ellis, Land’s End, and Tilly’s among its partners, is backed by investors such as Story3, Goldman Sachs, Fortress Investment Group, and Eldridge Industries. The company first announced its Vietnam plans in early 2024, coinciding with the appointment of Sjöblom as CEO.
This bold move underscores Recover’s commitment to leading the industry towards a more circular and sustainable future.
