    Recover Brands Launches Made in the Carolinas Line

    Charlotte, N.C. – Inspired by the rich textile heritage of North Carolina, Recover Brands – the sustainable apparel manufacturer based in Charlotte, North Carolina- launching their Made-In-The-Carolinas line of clothing. The collection, that features socks, shirts and a beanie is entirely made within a 150-mile radius of their headquarters.

    Not only will Recover be creating 100 percent recycled and sustainable clothing and accessories from this move, Sourcing everything from the recycled plastic to upcycled cotton, to cut and sew and distribution, within a 150-mile radius of Charlotte will also help reduce their carbon emissions – something ingrained in their mission statement. In addition, Recover also aims to drive support for local jobs, education, and communities close to home.

    “We’re based in North Carolina and so NC textiles are in our DNA,” said Recover Co-Founder, Bill Johnston. “Supporting our textile heritage and local communities is so important to us so we want to do everything we can to support our local economy.”

    A sample of the products made in the USA are the Recover Woods Socks and the Recover Beanie. The Woods Sock is a 9” medium weight crew ideal for Fall. A flat knit top allows breathing on long hikes, and the weight provides cushion for protection. Plus, the cute print reminds us why we love the outdoors.

    The Recover Beanie is also Carolinian made, blended from 50 percent recycled PET and 50 percent upcycled cotton. Designed to keep you warm when the temperatures drop, the Beanie supports local and won’t slip off no matter the intensity of the adventure.

    The brand will be also adding short and long sleeve t-shirts, as well as other apparel, to their Made in the Carolinas portfolio in February of 2018.

    “Developing our Recover Local line not only minimizes the environmental footprint in making product, it also allows better quality control of the finished product as we’re able to be more hands-on with the entire manufacturing process,” Johnston adds.

    An environmentally conscious company, Recover’s method of creating comfortable active apparel out of discarded plastic bottles and recycled cotton has resulted in a 35 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, 66 percent reduction in energy consumption, and 55 percent reduction in water consumption over their competition. They also don’t use die in the creation of their shirts, opting instead to presort the plastic and cotton by color. For more on Recover, head to: https://recoverbrands.com/
