Spain's Recover bags Green Product Award 2022 for fashion category

Recover, Spain’s materials science company and producer of low-impact, high-quality recycled cotton fibre, has won the Green Product Award 2022 in the category, fashion. The company was recognised for its environmentally friendly products, created in partnership with the supply chain, offering an end-to-end sustainable solution for major brands.

Since 2013, the international Green Product Award has been honouring outstanding products, services, and concepts that stand out for their good design, innovation, and sustainability. Over 1,500 participants from 52 countries applied for this year’s awards, and Recover was elected as the winner in fashion by an international jury of experienced experts, thanks to its sustainable and cost-effective plug-in-play solution, Recover said in a press release.

Recover is an innovative textile producer that has been pioneering sustainable materials and recycling since 1947. The company recycles post-industrial, pre-consumer and post-consumer cotton waste, replacing the need to cultivate cotton, dramatically reducing water waste, limiting the use of dyes through its RColorBlend system, and reducing textile landfill waste. By integrating its cotton into the supply chain, Recover also helps brands and retailers to meet their climate goals and make a significant positive environmental impact.

“As committed agents of change within the industry, we are honoured to be selected as winners at the Green Product Awards. Through scaling the production of our recycled fibres worldwide, we aim to bring sustainable fashion closer to the consumer and achieve circular fashion for all,” Helene Smits, chief sustainability officer at Recover, said in a media statement.
