A collaborative research project by The VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland that seeks to address the challenges of energy and resource consumption in the forestry and textile industry is working on a low-carbon, water-efficient technology with the potential to reduce water consumption by up to 90% and overall energy consumption by more than half.
Fibre player Spinnova's first commercial factory’s carbon footprint is 1.28 kg CO2e/kg fibre which is 72% lower compared to conventional cotton (4.6 kgCO2e/kg fibre). The Finnish company has a positive climate impact by saving 6.5 kg CO2e when replacing conventional cotton.
