Spinnova and Kemira to develop sustainable inherent dyeing

Spinnova, a Finland-based sustainable fibre company, has announced that the company entered a long-term collaboration with the global chemicals company Kemira, to develop a eco-friendly inherent dyeing method of fibre. Company suggested that dyeing fibre in its manufacturing process could significantly benefit both the textile industry and the environment.

Inherent dyeing in the Spinnova process means that the cellulosic fibre mass is dyed before extruding into filament. This avoids the excess use of water, energy, heavy metals and other harmful substances that go into dyeing fibre, thread and fabric as subsequent processes.

Spinnova’s sustainable fibre and the possibility of inherently dyeing the fibre could be an environmental game changer and could disrupt eg the denim dyeing process. The textile dyeing and finishing industry is one of the most chemically intensive industries globally, and one of the worst polluters of fresh water. The traditional textile industry uses thousands of chemicals in various processes of manufacture, including dyeing and printing.

“In addition to being the most sustainable way of dyeing, the fibre maintains this in-built colour really well. We have already made some successful trials, and the results are very promising,” Spinnova’s CEO and co-founder Janne Poranen, said in a press release.
