C&A and Recover™ sign a 4-year agreement to build circularity

European retailer C&A and material sciences company Recover™ are joining forces in a new strategic 4-year partnership to bring high-quality recycled cotton to the everyday garment. The two companies’ strong commitment to circularity will be visible this spring with the first collection made with Recover™ fiber due to hit stores in April, with C&A´s Clockhouse range.

C&A and Recover™ have decades of experience within their respective fields and a long track record in achieving greater circularity. The partnership is driving change to place recycled cotton as the core ingredient of a more sustainable fashion industry, using Recover™, with its extensive expertise and scaling capacities, as the main cotton source. Recover™ will integrate its fiber into C&A´s supply chain structure, as well as provide tech support to help the spinners and weavers optimize the yarns and fabrics. With C&A representing one of the leading retailers in Europe, the company brings the necessary demand to make a lasting impact on the industry.

The partnership with Recover™ confirms C&A, who recently opened its Factory for Innovation in Textiles in Monchengladbach, as an innovative player that takes sustainability seriously and accelerates its positive momentum in the pursuit of its 2028 Global Sustainability Strategy.

By partnering together, Recover™ also further validates its innovative business model of being able to provide recycled fiber to any brand without compromising on the style, quality and price. Together the partners aim to develop a strong and scalable circularity ecosystem in Europe, with a better future based on post-consumer materials.
