PYRATEX, Recover to Launch premium recycled fabrics

PYRATEX, a leader in sustainable textile innovation, has teamed up with materials science company Recover to create a new range of recycled cotton fabrics. The collaboration aims to offer high-quality materials made from mechanically recycled cotton, setting a new benchmark for sustainable luxury in fashion.

The inaugural collection consists of fabrics featuring 30-50% Recover recycled cotton fiber, blended with organic cotton. Combining Recover’s cutting-edge recycling technology with PYRATEX’s spinning and knitting expertise, the partnership seeks to elevate the use of recycled materials in luxury fashion while maintaining uncompromised quality.

Both companies are committed to full transparency throughout their supply chains, ensuring ethical sourcing and manufacturing practices. The fabrics are produced from textile waste, which is mechanically recycled at the Recover facility in Spain. These low-impact fibers are then transformed into high-end fabric structures by PYRATEX in Portugal, guaranteeing the highest levels of social and environmental responsibility.

Regina Polanco, CEO of PYRATEX, remarked, “Recycled fibers have always played a key role in our product lineup, but achieving premium structures with recycled cotton has been challenging. Our partnership with Recover™ allows us to offer clients luxurious fabrics made from fully traceable recycled cotton blends.”

Boris Mercier, Senior Vice President of Marketing at Recover, highlighted, “This collaboration with PYRATEX sets the stage for a more sustainable fashion future, where high-quality recycled fibers take center stage. Brands now have easy access to low-impact solutions without the limitations of traditional supply chains.”
