Spinnova
Jyväskylä, Finland
Spinnova is a Finnish innovation of creating textile materials in a completely new way. Their innovation mechanically refines wood or waste into a textile fiber without any harmful chemicals in the manufacturing process. The fiber is 100% biodegradable and natural origin, and Spinnova’s textile materials do not shed any polluting microfibers into the environment. The materials could be used instead of cotton, polyester and other synthetic materials. Now, Spinnova is entering an exciting period as their first products, such as a naturally-waxed waterproof jacket, have entered the market and first commercial scale factory is being built.
