Recover, a Spanish producer of recycled cotton fiber and cotton fiber blends, has announced the upcoming opening of its new manufacturing facility in Vietnam. Set to begin operations early this year, the facility will introduce the company’s advanced recycling technology to the growing textile production market in Vietnam.
Located in Dong Nai province, the new plant will benefit from Vietnam’s key position as the third-largest textile exporter in the world. The company highlights that the facility’s strategic location will enable it to efficiently serve the textile industry, positioning Recover close to both textile scrap sorting and manufacturing operations, thus reducing logistical costs and environmental impact.
The plant will initially operate with two recycling lines, enabling an annual production capacity of 10,000 metric tons of recycled material. It will also include a dedicated laboratory to ensure consistent product quality across all facilities and foster ongoing improvements in both product offerings and processes. One of the primary products of the new facility will be RMix, a recycled solution for cotton-polyester blends. Recover’s technology enables the recycling of polycotton blends without the need to separate the fibers, offering an energy-efficient solution to a long-standing challenge in the textile recycling sector.
Anders Sjöblom, CEO of Recover, emphasized that the company’s expansion into Vietnam is a key step in its global growth strategy. “Circularity is currently an underutilized tool for the Vietnamese textile industry, and by introducing our advanced recycling technology to a key textile hub, we aim to help drive a positive shift towards sustainability,” he said.
Recover, a fourth-generation, family-owned company with a 75-year history, first expanded its operations to Bangladesh in 2022. The company’s new facility in Vietnam represents the next phase in its expansion plans to meet the growing global demand for recycled materials from brands and retailers.
