Intradeco Holdings Achieves Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) Certification on Its Manufacturing of Recycled T-Shirts Sold Through Partner Recover Brands

MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Intradeco Holdings, a global vertical-manufacturing company supplying high-quality casual clothing and thermal underwear to major retailers in the United States, Mexico, and Canada has earned a Global Union Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) Certification for its manufacturing of recycled t-shirts.

Control Union Certifications provide assurance and confidence that a product, process, service, or organization that it certified fulfills the requirements of the relevant inspection or certification standard.

The LCA study, which was performed by Peterson, collected and evaluated the potential inputs, outputs and environmental impacts of Intradeco t-shirt production system throughout its life. It covered all aspects of the manufacturing process of Intradeco’s recycled t-shirts including cotton regeneration, upcycled cotton yarns, the regeneration process, textile waste sourcing, sorting, fiber regeneration, opening and carding, spinning, to create Intradeco proprietary product, regenyarns™. Regenyarns™ are made from 100% recycled materials. They are produced using post- industrial textile waste and post-consumer plastic waste.

The LCA certification was achieved as a result of the collaboration of Intradeco’s cotton spinning business in El Salvador, Central America Spinning Works (CASW), and its partnership with Recover Brands, clothing, and accessories brand.

In making today’s announcement, Luis Marquina, Intradeco Chief Operating Officer said, “We are very proud to have earned this recognition for the manufacture of our recycled t-shirts. Intradeco and CASW are committed to produce the best sustainable textiles. As a result, we have been working tirelessly to research and develop a 100% recycled product. All of our efforts came into fruition with the development of regenyarns™ in 2020. In December 2022, we started processing post-consumer waste and now we have LCA certification, which assures both our retail customers and consumers that we have met all the rigorous requirements of a fully circular product.”

Bill Johnston, President of Recover Brands continued, “Recover Brands has been making 100% recycled apparel since 2010 and the LCA certification further validates our ongoing commitment to sustainability. With our vertical supply chain in El Salvador, we are able to offer our customers a fully circular textile recycling system that is now certified.”
