Recover™, a global producer of low-impact, high-quality recycled cotton fiber at scale, has announced a strategic partnership with Prosperity Textile, a vertically integrated denim fabric manufacturer operating at industrial scale.

At the core of this collaboration is the joint development of a new range of denim fabrics under the Recover™ Fabrics umbrella, crafted in Vietnam. Designed as a flexible and production-ready partnership, the initiative aims to deliver scalable and sustainable denim solutions that can evolve in response to customer requirements, volumes, and end-use applications.

The collaboration combines Recover’s consistent, high-quality recycled cotton fiber with Prosperity Textile’s extensive denim expertise and advanced manufacturing capabilities. Built as a scalable platform for industrial-scale production, the partnership is intended to ensure reliable quality, performance, and long-term supply.

To showcase the potential of the new fabric range, selected garments will be presented at Kingpins Amsterdam. These pieces will demonstrate how the fabrics can be applied across a variety of denim products.

“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 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 expectations of global brands, while reducing reliance on virgin cotton.”

“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,” added 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.”

Together, Recover™ and Prosperity Textile aim to establish a scalable foundation for sustainable denim fabrics, bringing together quality, performance, and circularity at industrial scale. Initial fabric developments will be introduced to selected brand partners as part of both companies’ broader commitment to accelerating circularity in the denim sector.
