Spinnova is unique from the outset. The raw material used to create the fibre is the same pulp that's used for making paper. The wood comes from FSC and/or PEFC certified tree farms. Spinnova treat the pulp only mechanically, to create something called micro fibrillated cellulose; the feedstock for the spinning process. © Spinnova

One of the Spinnova fibre’s unique features is that it can be upcycled in the process, again without dissolving or harmful chemicals. This means that in the future, a product can be taken back from the consumer by a brand Spinnova work with, delivered to their process and ground back into micro fibrils without even dismantling the product. © Spinnova
