Recover and Intradeco launch cotton recycling plant

Madrid-based Recover, a global leader in recycled cotton fiber production, has announced a strategic joint venture with Intradeco, a vertically integrated supplier of casual apparel to major North American retailers, to establish a large-scale cotton recycling facility in El Salvador.

This collaboration is poised to leverage the growing strategic importance of the CAFTA (Central America Free Trade Agreement) region. The facility is ideally located near textile production and waste streams, ensuring faster lead times, reduced carbon emissions, and simplified compliance for U.S. brands and manufacturers.

At the heart of the new plant’s operations will be Recover’s proprietary low-impact recycling process, which transforms textile waste into high-quality recycled cotton fiber suitable for large-scale use.

“We are thrilled to partner with Intradeco to bring our sustainable textile solutions to the Americas and address the increasing demand for nearshoring in the region,” said Anders Sjöblom, CEO of Recover. “This joint venture is a significant step forward in enabling scalable sustainable change in fashion, driven by both innovation and value.”

Jaime Miguel*, CEO of Intradeco, added, “Intradeco is excited to partner with Recover to enhance our production capabilities and deliver high-quality, recycled products at scale to our customers.”
