A Spain-based leader in recycled cotton fiber and cotton fiber blends, Recover has launched a new facility in Vietnam. Scheduled to be operational early this year, the facility marks a milestone in large-scale recycling technology, aligning with Vietnam's growing prominence in textile production.
Strategically located in Dong Nai province, the new facility places Recover close to both textile scrap sorting and manufacturing hubs. This proximity helps the company minimize shipping costs and its carbon footprint while ensuring efficient supply to major textile production markets.
The move also reinforces Recover's commitment to serve as a global partner for the industry, providing brands with timely and sustainable access to recycled materials.
The Vietnam plant will feature Recover's cutting-edge recycling technology and include two initial recycling lines capable of producing 10,000 metric tons annually. Additionally, it will house a dedicated laboratory to support consistent, high-quality output across all facilities and drive innovation in both product development and process optimization.
One of the flagship products from the new facility will be RMix, a groundbreaking solution for recycling cotton-polyester blends. By eliminating the need to separate fibers, Recover’s technology addresses a longstanding challenge in polycotton recycling, delivering energy-efficient and scalable solutions to the industry.
According to Anders Sjoblom, CEO, Recover, by introducing its advanced recycling technology in Vietnam, the company not only expands its global manufacturing footprint but also catalyzes a shift toward sustainable practices in the country.
A fourth-generation, family-owned company with a 75-year legacy in the textile industry, Recover continues to scale its global presence. Following its first expansion with a facility in Bangladesh in 2022, the Vietnam plant represents the next phase of its ambitious growth strategy. This includes tapping into new markets to meet increasing demand from brands and retailers for sustainable, recycled materials.
