Recover has launched Recover One, a range of fiber blends made entirely from recycled materials. The blends combine recycled polyester with Recover recycled cotton and are intended for fabrics across a range of applications. According to the company, the range eliminates the need for downstream overdyeing.
Recover, a materials science company and producer of recycled cotton at scale, developed the range to support the textile industry’s transition toward greater circularity. The blends are said to offer the durability and comfort of conventional cotton-polyester blends while reducing environmental impact and simplifying production for spinners.
Recover One is supplied as a consistent, color-matched, ready-to-spin blend, or directly as fabric through the company’s network of supply chain partners. It can be used in applications including single jersey, French terry and fleece, and is available in solid, heather and mélange options.
The company uses an intimate blending process that harmonizes the original colors of textile waste feedstocks with color-matched, dope-dyed recycled polyester fibers. According to Recover, this gives greater control over blend accuracy and color consistency, resulting in a uniform material ready for spinning.
By matching the colors of its recycled inputs, Recover One removes the need for downstream overdyeing, the company stated. This is said to reduce processing time, environmental impact and material costs, offering spinners and brands a more cost-efficient alternative to conventional recycled cotton blends.
“With Recover One, we are making it easier for brands and manufacturers to use recycled materials at scale. 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,” said Enes Adak, co-CEO and chief product officer of Recover.
Recover One builds on the environmental savings of Recover recycled cotton, while the elimination of overdyeing enables additional reductions. According to Recover’s life-cycle assessments for Spain and Bangladesh, verified by EcoReview in 2022 and 2025, Recover recycled cotton fiber can reduce water consumption by up to 99.9% and carbon emissions by up to 93% compared to conventional cotton fiber.
