Recovo, IVN Industria, and Salsa Jeans to repurpose surplus denim

Deadstock fabric marketplace Recovo, Portuguese dyeing company IVN Industria, and fashion brand Salsa Jeans have joined forces to give surplus denim a second life. This collaboration aims to repurpose leftover textiles and promote sustainability in the fashion industry.

Recovo will manage the redistribution and reuse of IVN Industria’s excess fabrics, preventing them from going to waste. The partnership’s primary goal is to maximize the use of surplus denim, reduce textile waste, and contribute to a circular economy by keeping valuable materials in production rather than sending them to landfills.

Recovo’s platform plays a crucial role by allowing brands to buy and sell leftover fabrics from past collections. It provides waste management solutions that support reuse, resale, and recycling, helping companies cut costs and reduce their environmental impact.

Through this collaboration, IVN Industria will conserve resources by integrating unused textiles into new projects. This reinforces its commitment to sustainable textile production and innovation in the denim sector.

“With Recovo, companies like IVN Industria can easily and quickly sell their surplus and continuous fabrics,” said Mónica Rodríguez, CEO and co-founder of Recovo. “This pushes the sector toward better sustainability standards and ensures a positive global impact for the future of fashion.”

João Martins, Executive Director of IVN Industria, emphasized the importance of the initiative, stating: “We are proud to collaborate with Recovo to tackle one of the fashion industry’s biggest challenges—textile waste. This partnership proves that sustainability and premium denim manufacturing can go hand in hand.”
