Sustainable production of textile fibers from wood
The wood pulp is subjected to mechanical treatment followed by passing through a nozzle giving rise to textile fibers (nanocellulose)
Spinnova developed a technology that allows them to turn wood fibres into yarn without using harmful chemicals. The whole process is built upon a mechanical treatment of the pulp, fibre suspension flows and rheology. Spinnova produces fibre out of micro fibrillated cellulose (made of FSC certified wood or waste streams) which can be described as a pasty mass of tiny wood
Viability is influenced by the availability of eucalyptus pulp, and nanocellulose yield obtained from mechanical refining. In June 20221, they have successfully listed on the Nasdaq Helsinki First North Growth Market to finance our further growth and scaling
100% natural, biodegradable, recyclable, 0% microplastics, harmful chemicals and 99% less water use
Spinnova developed a scalable technology, which can be set up anywhere in the world, preferably next to the raw material source and e.g.,textile industry supply chains. Thus, Spinnova found a way to create new, extended value chains and jobs
