adidas releases first product using Spinnova wood-based fibers

In Germany, eight months after announcing their partnership, Spinnova and adidas have unveiled the first adidas product made with SPINNOVA® fibers. Composed of a minimum of 25% wood-based fibers and organic cotton, the adidas TERREX HS1 is a mid-layer knit for hikers that sees adidas exploring a more sustainable textile solution. Working with the material’s natural color, the hoodie is made without dyeing or bleaching chemicals. 

Spinnova’s first commercial-scale factory is expected to be completed in Finland at the end of this year. Spinnova and its Woodspin joint venture partner Suzano have a scaling target of a million tonnes of global fibre production capacity per annum within the next 10-12 years.
