Leading European retailer C&A and material sciences company Recover™ have come together 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™ fibre – due to hit stores in April, with C&A´s Clockhouse range.
With over 1,400 stores in 18 European countries and more than 25,000 employees, C&A is one of Europe’s leading fashion retailers.
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 fibre into C&A´s supply chain structure, as well as provide tech support to help the spinners and weavers optimise 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.
Aleix Busquets Gonzalez, Director Global Sustainability at C&A, said, “More sustainable fashion must not be a niche product. Our collaboration with Recover™ is a milestone on our way towards a more sustainable future characterised by quality fashion available at affordable prices.”
Alejandro Raña, Chief Business Development Officer, Recover™, said, “In alignment with our act-as-one philosophy, we are delighted to bring Recover’s expertise and tech support to our partnership with C&A through the integration of our fibre within their supply chain. By combining a long-term commitment with high production volumes, we are ensuring a real lasting impact on the industry.”
