At the 2025 Textile Exchange Conference in Lisbon, Recover™ and Intradeco received the Climate and Nature Impact Award for their textile-to-textile partnership—recognising the creation of Recover™ Central America, a large-scale recycling and manufacturing hub in El Salvador. The project marks a breakthrough in building a regional circular economy for textiles across the Americas.
The El Salvador facility merges Recover’s proprietary recycled-cotton fibre technology with Intradeco’s vertically integrated manufacturing network, enabling a traceable, low-emission, and near-shore supply chain for global brands. Situated within the CAFTA region, the hub supports compliance with tightening U.S. and EU sustainability laws—such as the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act—while cutting lead times and carbon intensity. Textile Exchange hailed the collaboration as proof that “circularity and performance can coexist,” linking environmental progress with operational resilience.
Early results show sharp reductions in emissions, energy use, and production timelines. According to McKinsey, regional recycling models like this could cut apparel-sector emissions by up to 25% by 2030. For Recover™ and Intradeco, the award signifies more than recognition—it cements a scalable blueprint for near-shore circular manufacturing, aligning commercial viability with measurable sustainability outcomes and positioning the Americas as an emerging hub for circular fashion innovation.
