In a significant move towards sustainability, Recovo, IVN Industria, and Salsa Jeans have joined forces to repurpose surplus denim fabrics and reduce textile waste in the fashion industry. This collaboration is driven by the industry’s growing focus on sustainable practices and aligns with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals for 2030.

Recovo, an innovative platform that facilitates the redistribution of surplus materials, will oversee the repurposing of leftover textiles from IVN Industria, a Portuguese company specializing in laundry, dyeing, and special finishes. By optimising the use of excess denim fabrics, the partnership aims to prevent these materials from ending up in landfills and contribute to the development of a circular denim economy.

Through its platform, Recovo helps brands buy and sell leftover materials from previous collections, fostering inventory efficiency and enhancing circularity within the textile industry. The platform also offers waste management solutions that enable the reuse, resale, and recycling of surplus textiles throughout their lifecycle, reducing environmental impact while helping companies cut costs.

Mónica Rodríguez, CEO and co-founder of Recovo, highlighted the importance of the partnership in driving the fashion industry toward more sustainable practices. “With Recovo, companies like IVN Industria can easily sell their surplus fabrics, pushing the sector to transition toward better sustainability standards and meeting the vital goals set for 2030,” Rodríguez said.

IVN Industria, which works with over 100 global brands, brings its expertise in advanced dyeing and finishing techniques to the partnership. João Martins, Executive Director of IVN Industria, emphasized the role of the collaboration in addressing textile waste: “We aim to repurpose unused fabrics and create innovative denim solutions, proving that environmental stewardship and high-quality manufacturing can go hand in hand.”
