Finnish start-up spins plant-based fibre
16/02/2022
Nordic Bioproducts Group, a spin-off from Aalto University in Finland, has created a new wood-based textile fibre it calls Norratex, which is manufactured without any toxic chemicals or expensive solvents.
In the AaltoCell method, cellulose is hydrolysed and further processed into a viscose-like textile fibre.
