Recover and TextileGenesis pilot recycled cotton traceability
Spanish recycled cotton producer, Recover, launched a pilot with TextileGenesis, the French traceability platform owned by technology company Lectra. Together, they tested how recycled cotton and polycotton fibres from Recover could be digitally tracked from fibre to finished product. Thanks to Fibercoin technology, each kilogram of material received a unique digital token that recorded its origin.
Summary Recover partnered with TextileGenesis to test the traceability of recycled cotton and polycotton fibres using digital tokens.
This pilot aligns with GRS certification and upcoming EU legislation, such as the Digital Product Passport, which supports circularity claims.
Recover and TextileGenesis are exploring the potential for broader application of this traceability technology within the global supply chain.
This partnership is in line with GRS certification and upcoming legislation such as the EU Digital Product Passport. 'Traceability plays a crucial role in substantiating circularity claims and preparing for regulations,' said Orsolya Janossy, senior sustainability manager at Recover.
Recover and TextileGenesis are exploring opportunities for wider application of this technology across the global supply chain.
Recover was founded in 1914 in Spain as a textile company. Since 1947, the company has been processing textile waste into yarns. The company is currently backed by investors such as Goldman Sachs and Fortress Investment Group, and has previously collaborated with fashion companies such as Primark and C&A.
TextileGenesis was founded in 2018 by Amit Gautam. The company enables fashion brands and sustainable textile producers to digitally track textiles, from fibre to retail. Last month, Gautam was appointed to the executive committee of parent company, Lectra. TextileGenesis' clients include Kering, H&M, and Ermenegildo Zegna.

Arsenal eye record transfer deal as Nico Williams update given
Arsenal are looking to strengthen their squad this summer and new sporting director Andrea Berta will be a busy man, with a new striker top of the Gunners' shopping list Arsenal are set for a huge summer in the transfer market, having finished second in the Premier League for the third season in a row, and co-chairman Josh Kroenke has said the club are ready to back Mikel Arteta. "We plan to invest to get behind winning and doing better next season," Kroenke said. "We're delighted we have our sporting director, Andrea [Berta], who will play an important role in this. "He is part of a unified and strong team, supported by the board, who are crystal clear on exactly what we need to do and the way in which we want to do it. The right way. The Arsenal way." A deal for midfielder Martin Zubimendi is expected to be wrapped up soon, but Arsenal's most pressing target is a new striker. With all that in mind, Mirror Football brings you some of the latest news and rumours from the Emirates... Record transfer deal Arsenal are reportedly closing in on a move for 17-year-old Greece international Konstantinos Karetsas. According to reports in Greece, via the Athens-Macedonian News Agency, Arsenal are in talks with Genk over a deal for the midfielder. It is claimed that an agreement is 'very close', with an overall package worth £38m on the table. The deal would see Karetsas remain at Genk on loan for the 2025-26 campaign and would be a record fee for a Greek player, breaking the record set by Kostas Manolas when he joined Napoli from Roma for £30m in 2019. Williams update Athletic Bilbao president Jon Uriarte has shared an update on Nico Williams' future, with Arsenal keen on signing the winger. "I believe we have a winning and interesting project for everyone, and Nico is part of that project, just like many other players," Uriarte told Spanish outlet El Correo. "The project becomes easier if we keep our players - and I believe Nico and the rest of the squad have a very exciting year ahead." Williams currently has a release clause worth around £50m in his contract, which runs until 2027, but reports have claimed that Bilbao are attempting to persuade him to sign a new deal. Tavares exit Nuno Tavares has completed a permanent move to Lazio after spending last season on loan at the Serie A side. Tavares joined Arsenal from Benfica for £8m back in 2021, but failed to become a regular starter as he made just 28 appearances across all competitions. He was shipped out on loan to Lazio last summer, where he made 30 appearances in all competitions. And Lazio have now paid Arsenal £6m, which could rise to £7.5m, to make the move permanent. In a statement, Arsenal said: "Everyone at Arsenal would like to thank Nuno for his contribution to the club and wish him all the best for the future."

Liverpool turn down Barcelona's approach for winger Luis Diaz
The Colombia international has been a target for the LaLiga champions for some time, although he has also been attracting interest from Saudi Pro League side Al-Nassr. Only last month Barca's sporting director Deco publicly named Diaz, and Manchester United's Marcus Rashford, when talking about their transfer plans. However, the PA news agency understands when the Catalan club made an approach to Liverpool on Wednesday they were told they had no intention of selling. Diaz turned 28 in January and has two years remaining on his current deal but it is believed there are currently no plans to open negotiations on any extension. However, with Darwin Nunez expected to depart this summer and the future of Federico Chiesa in doubt after a frustrating debut season in which he made just 14 appearances, Arne Slot's Premier League-winning forward line already looks like losing two of its members. The arrival of Florian Wirtz, with discussions ongoing with Bayer Leverkusen over the transfer fee after a recent £109million bid was rejected, will likely offset the impact of that – especially as Nunez and Chiesa contributed just nine goals between them. But it is understood potentially losing a third member of the attack would only be sanctioned if there was a bid which allows Liverpool to significantly improve the team or if the player agitated for a move. Last month Diaz told American-Spanish television channel Telemundo: 'For me, I'd stay however many years it takes.' Liverpool have already recruited Jeremie Frimpong from Leverkusen to strengthen their right side following the departure of Trent Alexander-Arnold and are looking to bolster the left with a move for Bournemouth defender Milos Kerkez. The Cherries value the 21-year-old Hungary international, who is keen on a move to Anfield, at £45m but Liverpool's sporting director Richard Hughes is currently negotiating with his former club over the fee. Liverpool have announced they would start their pre-season with a friendly at Preston on July 13, prior to them flying to Hong Kong and Japan for matches against AC Milan and Yokohama
