Recover, a producer of low-impact recycled cotton fiber and cotton fiber blends based in Valencia, Spain, has won the Disruptor Award at the 2021 Drapers Awards, after winning the Ryan Young Climate+ Award at the 2021 Textile Exchange Sustainability Conference held in Dublin, Ireland from November 15-19.
Drapers Awards 2021, now in its 30th year, honors retailers, brands, suppliers, and agencies that have innovated to survive and grow stronger businesses in the face of adversity in the fashion sector. Recover was “very, very remarkable” and presented a solution that many fashion businesses might utilize, according to the judges of the Disruptor Award, which recognises new or disruptive business models that are growing to prominence in the UK and Irish fashion industry.
The company’s business approach strives to make recycled fiber available to any fashion brand, as evidenced by its successful relationship with Primark in 2021, and tackles the scalability and circularity difficulties in the sector head-on. By 2025, the business plans to increase production to 200,000 metric tonnes of recycled cotton fiber per year to accommodate rising demand and assist brands in meeting their sustainability targets.
CEO Alfredo Ferre, said that they’re ecstatic to receive the Drapers Disruptor Award this year, which recognises Recover as a determined agent of change in the fashion sector. Their goal is to bring sustainable fashion closer to the consumer and accomplish circular fashion for all by cooperating directly with brands and retailers and increasing their fiber production.
