Sights on the long term

Recover™ and Alkaram signed this multi-year contract in 2021 to collaborate on end-to-end solutions for the exclusive design, development and production of home textiles in Pakistan. Thanks to this collaboration, 90% of Alkaram’s raw materials now come from sustainable sources.

A shared commitment

Alkaram is one of the world’s largest fully integrated vertical textile producers and serves clients around the world. Apart from minimizing their impact through vertical production, they have also invested in water and waste management, their own Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), and in Chemical Management & Material Sustainability – the latter of which includes using Recover’s low-impact recycled fiber.

Both Recover™ and Alkaram have invested in renewable energy sources, opting for state-of-the-art rooftop solar panels to power their facilities.



Real world solutions

Through this partnership, Alkaram can offer:

  • the highest quality home textile fabrics made with 15%-40% RCS/GRS verified recycled fiber
  • a transparent supply chain
  • sustainable fabric production techniques in dyeing and finishing


Together, Recover™ and Alkaram can set a new standard for the home textiles industry, creating a benchmark for a more circular tomorrow.
