Circulose, as a key player in textile recycling, is said to strengthen the ecosystem by providing a high-demand raw material across the industry.

The collaboration will see the integration of Circulose pulp into Spinnova’s ecosystem as a feedstock for producing new textile fibres. Spinnova’s mechanical technology enables the partners to turn Circulose into a new biobased textile fibre without harmful chemicals or dissolving in the fibre‑spinning process. In addition, Circulose pulp can be integrated into Spinnova’s process at 100%, eliminating the need for blending with virgin pulp and enabling higher recycled content in the final fibre.

The move follows a successful trial in 2023.

“We are excited to renew our partnership with Spinnova. We strongly believe that innovation will enable man-made cellulosic fibres to play a bigger role in textiles than it does today. Spinnova is a great example of this - it is not only a sustainably produced fibre but also offers attractive performance properties. We’re excited to support their scale-up by enabling Spinnova fibre production to be not only natural and bio-based, but also circular", said Jonatan Janmark, CEO at Circulose.

Spinnova CEO, Janne Poranen, added: “As demand for high‑quality textile waste‑based materials grows, this partnership allows Spinnova to secure valuable circular raw materials while supporting Circulose in expanding the use of its pulp into new, lower‑impact fibres."
