Recovo, the marketplace that makes circularity possible.

Updated on
July 29, 2024

Recovo now also collaborates with Dcycle to ensure the traceability of all fabrics.

Technology allows us to make major changes. Digitalisation makes production processes more efficient and facilitates cooperation between companies, international organisations and society. Some of the benefits of technology include the creation of new business models that encourage a low-carbon economy.

Thanks to new technologies and with an eye on the circular future, Recovo was created, the B2B marketplace where fashion brands can buy and sell surplus premium fabrics.  

Every year more than 92 million tonnes of textile waste is generated. Even in Europe, 75% of textiles waste goes to landfill. In a society where clothing consumption has accelerated exponentially, it is essential to extend the life of textiles.

Recovo offers a solution that benefits both buyers and consumers, handling end-to-end management and matching products to the buyer that best suits them.

The platform not only has a large and varied catalogue of high quality surplus textiles, but also quantifies the resources avoided in terms of litres of water saved and kilos of CO2 avoided. In addition, Recovo now also collaborates with Dcycle to ensure the traceability of all fabrics.

Reusing fabrics is a big step towards circularity. It avoids greenhouse gas emissions from fabric incineration. Many brands have already benefited from this platform to sell and buy natural, recycled or synthetic fabrics. These include Ecoalf, Pyratex, Hemper and Pronovias.

Thank you for your interest in this project. Sustainability requires collaboration between companies and the use of new technologies to create business models such as Recovo or Ecodicta. This allows to lengthen the life cycle of products and accelerate the implementation of sustainability in the fashion industry.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How Can You Calculate a Product’s Carbon Footprint?

Carbon footprint calculation analyzes all emissions generated throughout a product’s life cycle, including raw material extraction, production, transportation, usage, and disposal.

The most recognized methodologies are:

  • Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)
  • ISO 14067
  • PAS 2050

Digital tools like Dcycle simplify the process, providing accurate and actionable insights.

What Are the Most Recognized Certifications?
  • ISO 14067 – Defines carbon footprint measurement for products.
  • EPD (Environmental Product Declaration) – Environmental impact based on LCA.
  • Cradle to Cradle (C2C) – Evaluates sustainability and circularity.
  • LEED & BREEAM – Certifications for sustainable buildings.
Which Industries Have the Highest Carbon Footprint?
  • Construction – High emissions from cement and steel.
  • Textile – Intense water usage and fiber production emissions.
  • Food Industry – Large-scale agriculture and transportation impact.
  • Transportation – Fossil fuel dependency in vehicles and aviation.
How Can Companies Reduce Product Carbon Footprints?
  • Use recycled or low-emission materials.
  • Optimize production processes to cut energy use.
  • Shift to renewable energy sources.
  • Improve transportation and logistics to reduce emissions.
Is Carbon Reduction Expensive?

Some strategies require initial investment, but long-term benefits outweigh costs.

  • Energy efficiency lowers operational expenses.
  • Material reuse and recycling reduces procurement costs.
  • Sustainability certifications open new business opportunities.

Investing in carbon reduction is not just an environmental action, it’s a smart business strategy.
