Recover™ and Lands’ End collaborate to transform textile waste into sustainble denim

Lands’ End, the classic American lifestyle brand, has collaborated with global recycled cotton fiber producers, Recover™, to launch a low-impact denim collection using recycled fiber.

The two companies have partnered together to develop sustainable denim pieces, in timeless styles for both men and women, and all of which contain 20% of Recover’s recycled cotton fiber produced from textile waste scraps.

Using Recover’s high-quality recycled cotton fiber, significantly reduces the environmental impact of the garment compared to apparel made with virgin fiber, and this collaboration shows how textile waste can be integrated back into the system to create a more sustainable production model.
