Zero‑Chemical Sustainable Fibre

Reinventing Textiles with Pure Cellulose Fibre

Spinnova Plc, founded in 2014 and based in Finland, has pioneered a breakthrough method to produce textile fibre using mechanical refining—completely avoiding harmful dissolving chemicals. This patented process transforms wood pulp or waste into a cotton-like fibre, setting a new standard for sustainable fabrics.

Through its zero-waste, closed-loop system, Spinnova’s production significantly reduces environmental impacts—using up to 74% less CO₂ and 98% less water compared to conventional cotton. The resulting SPINNOVA® fibre is biodegradable, recyclable, and compatible with existing textile manufacturing techniques.

Scaling and Sustainable Capacity

In 2023, Spinnova inaugurated its first commercial-scale Woodspin facility in Jyväskylä, jointly operated with global pulp leader Suzano. This zero-emission factory produces approximately 1,000 tonnes of sustainable fibre annually.

Today, Spinnova is moving toward full ownership of the facility, reinforcing its vision to scale efficiently and responsibly.

From Waste to Wearable Fabric

Spinnova’s technology isn’t limited to wood. It can process textile waste, agricultural residues, and even leather scraps into high-quality fibre. This flexibility enables true circularity—turning discarded materials into new fabrics without compromising quality.

Partnerships and Market Impact

The company collaborates with high-profile brands like Marimekko, adidas, PUMA, H&M’s ARKET, and JACK & JONES—integrating Spinnova fibre into clothing and accessories with sustainability at the forefront.

PUMA, for instance, has committed to adopting Spinnova fibre across upcoming collections, accelerating textile sustainability in sportswear.

Recognized Innovation

Spinnova’s impact hasn’t gone unnoticed. The company has earned accolades, including:

• Inclusion in Fast Company’s Innovation by Design Awards (Sustainability category).

• Honors at ISPO, Scandinavian Outdoor Awards, and World Changing Ideas.
