Spinnova and The North Face have entered into a partnership. Spinnova and The North Face have signed a development agreement to develop new, sustainable, high-performance textiles for the outdoor apparel category. This starts a journey towards commercializing sustainable products using SPINNOVA® materials and access to the first commercial volumes of SPINNOVA® fibre. Global textile material demand is increasing at a rapid speed and estimated to be as high as 146 million tons annually by 2030. Outdoor is a segment of the apparel industry with high growth. The announced partnership aims to reduce impacts of the textile industry on the environment and the planet's resources. Through their work together, Spinnova and The North Face aim to provide the outdoor segment with a sustainable alternative to conventional textile materials without compromises in technical quality. SPINNOVA® fibre is produced without harmful chemicals, with minimal water usage and with minimal CO2 emissions. SPINNOVA® does not contain any microplastics and is 100% circular.
