Recover, Happy Punt, and Hansae, have entered into a multi-year partnership agreement to provide end-to-end solutions for the design and development of sustainably conscious apparel for the fashion sector. Recover is Swedish material sciences company. Happy Punt is a solution provider for fashion. Hansae is a leader in the clothing manufacturing industry.
The partnership allows retailers and brands to seamlessly integrate sustainable Recover recycled cotton fibre into their products, thereby helping to solve one of the world’s biggest environmental issues, Recover said in a press release.
Using innovative technology, the partnership provides a range of services, including 3D design, patterns, tech packs, samples, and production to support brands and retailers at every step in the supply chain. The partnership offers a unique speed to market solution for the production of fully sustainable apparel and leverages the group’s global reach, with offices in Seoul, Barcelona, and New York. In addition, close customer proximity provides in-market technical design services that develop, review and approve all specifications to ensure correct fit and brand enhancing products. The partnership also provides an end-to-end service that combines the advantages of production near-shore and offshore worldwide.
Dedicated leading edge design and development facilities can produce samples in house from concept to finished sample with a quick turnaround time. Notably, as part of a joint sustainability initiative, the partnership also encourages R&D designs to be replaced by 3D designs to reduce the environmental impact of the sampling process, according to Recover.
The three leading companies have a combined experience of over 130 years in each of their respective fields. Each firm’s commitment to bringing the best technology to the product and the market offers a disruptive approach to the traditional apparel design and production process. The partnership is proud to be actively working with leading global brands to deliver sustainable collections to the market by Spring 2022, and more collections are expected to follow.
Recover will increase its production to 200,000 metric tons of recycled cotton fibre per year by 2025 to support the current market demand. This recycled cotton volume will save nearly three trillion litres of water each year, equivalent to the drinking water consumed by 3 billion people on an annual basis and allow 500,000 acres of land to be directed away from cotton cultivation to other uses.
The Recover, Happy Punt, and Hansae strategic partnership provides brands and retailers with an easy plug & play solution to achieve their sustainability initiatives and ensures a quality product for the consumer.
