Primark<\/a><\/span> is expanding its partnership with recycled cotton producer Recover and becoming the \"first high-street retailer\" to use its unique RColorBlend fibre on a global scale.<\/strong><\/p>\nThe partnership supports Primark\u2019s commitment to increase the amount of clothing containing recycled materials and builds on its ambition to produce affordable sustainable fashion.<\/p>\n
Recover, a global producer of low-impact, high-quality recycled cotton fibre and fibre blends, transforms textile waste into recycled fibres and blends, helping to close the loop on fashion.<\/p>\n
The RColorBlend is produced by blending Recover\u2019s coloured recycled fibre from textile waste, from factory floor cutting waste or used clothes, together with a recycled carrier fibre. Colour accuracy is achieved by mixing the two types of fibres together, with no additional dyeing treatment and limited water and chemicals to reduce the environmental impact.<\/p>\n
The range is made using recycled cotton and polyester fibres and includes t-shirts priced at \u00a36 and sweatshirts priced at \u00a311, in a range of colours including grey, blue and pink. It will launch in selected stores across 14 markets in Europe and the US.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
