Last October, Danish clothing brand Bestseller debuted its first product made using Spinnova eco-friendly fibres with Elena Osenbrüg, who is responsible for sustainability at Jack & Jones stating at the time:

“At Jack & Jones we believe in a better way of making clothes. We push ourselves to innovate and explore processes and materials with a lower impact on the environment. In Spinnova we found a strong partner to step up. After visiting Spinnova’s mill in Finland, seeing how pristine the fibre production is, and close work with our buying team to create a statement piece, I am excited to see the first Jack & Jones product made with Spinnnova fibre on market.”
