Turning textile waste
into a source of joy.

Our mission

We’re on a mission to make textile circularity an everyday reality – offering a way to capture the value in textile waste by regenerating it as a new and versatile textile fiber. We see a future that’s not reliant on precious natural resources and where old processes are replaced with cutting-edge alternatives. Working together with textile producers, brands and people who share our vision, we can bring joy and hope back to closets.

Solving global problems with Finnish engineering.

Finnish engineers are honest and humble by nature. And we love solving problems with practical solutions that make life better for people and nature. The story of our technology began decades ago, and rigorous research and development have brought us to where we are now: on our way to scale for real impact.

We are working to build the first commercial-scale circular Infinna™ fiber factory at the site of a discontinued paper mill in Northern Finland. The factory will have a production capacity of 30,000 metric tons of Infinna™ annually, equivalent to the fiber needed for about 100 million T-shirts. The future factory’s customer-base includes several of the world’s leading apparel companies.

Infinited Fiber Company was born out of the desire to solve some of the biggest challenges in the textile industry – mountains of waste, limited natural resources, and consumers calling for more sustainable choices. Our dream is a future where the clothes we wear and all the products we use are made in balance with nature. Where renewing what already exists is more valuable than producing what doesn’t. Together, we can make this dream a reality.
