Fashion group Inditex, the parent company of Zara, has announced that it will spend €100 million over a three-year period on Infinna fibre.

Finnish manufacturer Infinited Fiber Company has developed Infinna, describing it as a fibre of “virgin quality, with the soft and natural look and feel of cotton”. It produces the regenerated fibre from “cotton-rich textile waste” and has explained that, because its fibres derive from cellulose, a building block of all plants, Infinna is biodegradable and contains “no microplastics to clog our seas”. Clothes made from Infinna can be recycled again in the same process, together with other textile waste.
