- IVN Industria, together with Salsa Jeans, partners with Recovo to reduce textile waste by selling surplus and continuous denim fabrics on the platform.
- The platform manages the digitization, sales, and logistics of the entire commercialization process.
The fashion industry is transitioning to more sustainable practices in all aspects of its operations following the 2030 Agenda’s Sustainable Development Goals. Managing textile surplus—unused resources or unsold pieces that, if improperly managed, increase the sector’s environmental impact—is one of the major difficulties. As a result, an increasing number of businesses are looking for ethical and creative ways to recycle and reuse these materials, helping to create a more circular production and consumption model that is in line with the 2030 emission and waste reduction goals.
To solve this issue and assist businesses in the industry in implementing a genuinely sustainable and circular model, Recovo was established. This software platform encourages circularity and maximizes inventory efficiency. By providing complete waste management solutions that allow surplus materials to be reused, resold, and recycled at every stage of their lifespan, Recovo helps businesses save time and money while lessening their environmental impact. In order to strengthen its commitment to sustainability and keep these materials out of landfills, IVN Industria, the product unit of Salsa Jeans, has entrusted Recovo with supporting its ambition of revolutionizing the traditional textile business by making the most of surplus denim fabrics.
When IVN Industria’s leftover textiles can no longer be utilized in the company’s manufacturing lines, Recovo helps with their redistribution and reuse, incorporating them into new projects. Through this partnership, IVN Industria will be able to save a substantial amount of money, which is consistent with its goal of improving the textile sector.
As Mónica Rodríguez, CEO and Co-Founder of Recovo, states: “With Recovo, companies like IVN Industria can easily and quickly sell their surplus and continuous fabrics. This pushes the sector to transition toward better sustainability standards and meet the goals set for 2030, which are vital for the future of the industry and to leave a positive legacy on a global scale. The key is to enjoy fashion while minimizing environmental impact.
Selling deadstock fabrics in the circular economy market
Recovo makes it possible for textile surpluses from different businesses and fashion labels to be redistributed, giving them a new, exclusive purpose that may be used by other designers or fashion aficionados around Europe. Sellers may easily get rid of their extra fabrics, textiles, or threads while making the most money thanks to its extensive platform. This project not only promotes circularity but also frees up warehouse space and converts garbage into income. The business handles all logistics and digitizing, including warehouse pickups, sales, shipping labels, and sample shipment. The company advises each user on the best relationship to join the circular economy based on the demands and excess materials of each business.
The platform’s sales process ensures compliance with existing European and local waste legislation, integrating seamlessly with the market through specific programs.
Sustainable innovation: IVN Industria leads the future of circular denim
The founders of the IVN Industry began their careers in the denim industry in the laundry more than 35 years ago, finally founding Salsa Jeans in 1994. The IVN industry, which is well-known for its proficiency, works in three main sectors: special finishing, dyeing, and laundering. It offers comprehensive solutions using cutting-edge technology, including mass production, testing, sampling, and product R&D. The R&D and laboratory teams, who create new methods and procedures every day, are the source of its creative approach. In order to guarantee that technical expertise and creativity are ingrained throughout the production process, not just for Salsa Jeans, its primary partner, but also for more than 100 brands worldwide, these teams work closely with the laundry, dyeing, and special finishing divisions.
By extending the lifecycle of leftover fabric and repurposing it in innovative initiatives, this partnership with Recovo helps to close the denim loop in a circular economy. Salsa Jeans has been a global leader in the textile business since its founding thanks to its dedication to innovation and transparency.”We are honored to collaborate with Recovo in tackling one of the fashion industry’s most urgent issues—textile waste,” says João Martins, Executive Director of IVN Industria. We hope to show that environmental responsibility and superior production can coexist by repurposing waste textiles and developing creative denim solutions through this collaboration.”
