In a significant development for the sustainable fashion industry, Recover™, a global leader in producing high-quality recycled cotton fiber, has announced a strategic partnership with Prosperity Textile, a vertically integrated denim fabric manufacturer operating at industrial scale. This collaboration marks a major step forward in making circular materials more accessible to mainstream fashion brands.
A New Era for Sustainable Denim Production
The partnership, announced from Madrid, Spain on April 14, 2026, will result in a comprehensive range of denim fabrics developed collaboratively under the Recover™ Fabrics umbrella. These fabrics will be crafted in Vietnam through a flexible, production-ready collaboration designed to evolve over time in response to customer needs, volumes, and end-use applications.
Combining Expertise for Industrial-Scale Solutions
This strategic alliance brings together Recover's consistent, high-quality recycled cotton fiber with Prosperity Textile's deep denim expertise and advanced manufacturing capabilities. The collaboration is built as a scalable platform for industrial-scale denim fabric production, supporting reliable quality, performance, and long-term supply.
"Our partnership with Prosperity Textile represents an important step in making it easier for brands to integrate circular materials beyond niche collections, into their core quality denim ranges," said Anders Sjöblom, CEO of Recover™. "Working closely with a mill partner that has the technical depth, innovation mindset and scale of Prosperity Textile allows us to jointly develop denim fabrics that meet the real performance and quality consistency expectations of global brands, while reducing reliance on virgin cotton."
Demonstrating Practical Applications
To showcase the potential applications of their new fabric collection, selected garments will be presented at Kingpins Amsterdam. These examples will demonstrate how the fabrics can be applied across different denim products, from everyday wear to premium collections.
"By combining Recover's recycled cotton expertise with our industrial manufacturing capabilities, we are able to deliver competitive, high-volume denim fabrics that meet the performance, lead-time, and quality expectations of global brands," explained Stafford Lau, CEO of Prosperity Textile. "This collaboration reflects our shared commitment to making sustainable, high-quality denim a viable solution for core collections produced at industrial scale."
Building a Foundation for Circular Fashion
Together, Recover™ and Prosperity Textile are establishing a scalable foundation for sustainable denim fabrics that combines quality, performance, and circularity at industrial scale. Initial fabric developments will be introduced to selected brand partners as part of both companies' shared commitment to accelerating circularity in denim.
