The Recover Upcycled Textile System regenerates cotton fiber from old clothing and scraps from the cutting room floor. Recover cotton is produced using none of the water and toxic chemicals required for conventional cotton fiber. Recover has been recycling post-industrial clipping waste for over 70 years, however this recovery stream accounts for only a fraction of overall textile waste. Four generations of research and development in textile recycling has led to some impressive technical advances that make the quality of Recover’s upcycled yarn comparable to virgin, at a competitive price and with a fraction of the environmental impact.
