🚨 Big news towards more sustainable #textiles!
Metsä Group has begun pre-engineering for the first commercial Kuura textile fibre mill. 👕♻️
Kuura transforms Finnish wood into high-value fibre, without fossil fuels. Studies show its climate impact is much lower than competing fibres. 💚

Great news for ecological #textiles! ♻️🧵
A new #LCA confirms Metsä Group’s Kuura® textile fibre has a fraction of the emissions of traditional fibres:
💚 <1/3 of viscose
💚 1/4 of cotton
💚 80% lower than lyocell
Plus, Kuura earned a Green Shirt rating for the 4th year in a row! 💪
