Fresh recognition for Spinnova fibre

15/04/2019
Finnish bio-yarn producer Spinnova has been named among the winners at the 2019 World Changing Ideas Award, a programme run by US technology and business publication Fast Company.

It has been running this awards programme for three years. It received nearly 2,000 entries this year, with the winners chosen by a panel made up of social entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, designers and Fast Company editors. 

Spinnova’s cellulose-based fibre won in the ‘Experimental’ category, which is reserved for new concepts and just-launched ideas. 

Discussing this recognition, CEO Janne Poranen said: “We’re thrilled to see Spinnova make this remarkable list of innovative solutions. It’s important in today’s world to give recognition to companies whose purpose and business are based on sustainability.”
