Recover has launched Recover One, a fully recycled cotton-polyester fibre range that the company says cuts water use by up to 99.9% and carbon emissions by up to 93% versus conventional cotton.

The blend is available to spinning mills as a colour-ready feedstock or as finished fabric through the company's supply-chain partners, and targets single jersey, French terry and fleece end-uses. Solid, heather and mélange options cover mills serving apparel and home textile buyers.

The product sits at the fibre-processing tier, upstream of spinning, and is positioned to slot into existing cotton-polyester production lines.

How does the blend remove the overdyeing step?

Recover's intimate blending process matches the colour profile of textile waste feedstocks with dope-dyed recycled polyester before the spinning stage. The supplier says matching the inputs at fibre stage removes the need for overdyeing after yarn formation.

The company claims this approach can shorten processing time, lower environmental impact and reduce material cost compared with conventional recycled cotton blends that route through a downstream dye house.

Recover said the resulting fabric delivers the durability and comfort associated with cotton-polyester blends while substituting both fibre components with recycled inputs.

What savings can sourcing teams verify?

The 99.9% water and 93% carbon figures come from life-cycle assessments for production in Spain and Bangladesh, verified by EcoReview in 2022 and 2025. Both geographies matter for buyers: Spain covers European mill production, while Bangladesh covers the South Asian knit hub where much of the world's single jersey and French terry volume runs.

Recover One extends those cotton-side figures to a blended product by pairing recycled cotton with recycled polyester at the fibre stage rather than blending in virgin PET downstream.

Who is positioning the offer?

Recover co-CEO and chief product officer Enes Adak framed the launch as a scale play for mills managing rising recycled-content rules across the EU and key buyer markets.

"With Recover One, we are making it easier for brands and manufacturers to use recycled materials at scale," Adak said. "By combining our recycled cotton with recycled polyester, we deliver a consistent blend that simplifies production and helps reduce costs. This brings sustainability and business value together."

The company has not disclosed pricing, order volumes, or specific brand commitments tied to the launch. Recover supplies the colour-ready blend directly to spinners, with finished fabric moving through partner mills in its existing network.

What sourcing decision does the launch force?

Buying teams now have a third-party LCA-anchored blended option to evaluate, with verified mill-level data covering both a European and a South Asian production geography. The next sourcing call is whether the colour-ready specification removes enough dye-house cost and lead time to justify switching from established recycled cotton-only programmes, or to specify Recover One as a new SKU alongside existing blends.

EU Strategy for Sustainable and Circular Textiles rules, national EPR schemes and individual brand recycled-content targets have already pushed mills to qualify blended recycled inputs ahead of conventional ring-spun cotton. Recover One lands as a directly specifiable response for those compliance pipelines.
