Polopique and the North American company Recover, which manufactures recycled cotton from textile waste, signed an agreement to promote sustainable products, and to develop ecological integral solutions for the fashion industry.
Recover, a Hilaturas Ferre spinoff that for a year now is in the hands of the American fund Story3 Capital, signed a multi-year agreement with Polopique, which will allow the two companies to have greater international reach, and offer greater proximity to the final consumer.
According to the Spanish press, with this initiative brands will be given the opportunity to use recycled cotton fibres from Recover, which last July had closed a strategic alliance with Happypunt and the South Korean Hansae, under the same premises now signed with Polopique.
Polopique is one of the few fully vertical textile companies, from spinning to weaving and finishing. It exports to over 47 countries, and works with over a thousand employees on a global scale. Its production incorporates 50% organic cotton and recycled polyester with Global Recycled Standard (GRS) certification. From now on, with the inclusion of Recover fibres, the company will further reduce its ecological footprint.
Recover is a company that produces recycled cotton from textile waste, and plans to increase its production to 200 thousand tons of recycled cotton fibre per year by 2025.
