Nokian Neulomon toiminta saatiin kaksi vuotta sitten pyörimään teidän tukenne ansiosta! Nokian Neulomon tavoitteena on alusta alkaen ollut tuotteiden ohella tehdä myös uusia materiaali-innovaatioita ja muuttaa vaateteollisuutta. Kesällä 2017 Nokian Neulomo kutsuttiin tuotekehitystyöhön kehittämään high-end -neulosta Lenzingin leikkuujätepuuvillaan ja puukuituihin pohjautuvasta Refibra™-kuidusta. Premium-neuloksen kehitykseen Nokian Neulomo on ideaali kumppani, sillä tuotannolla on pitkäaikainen kokemus sekä erikoiskehrättyjenlankojen käytöstä että lyocell-kuitujen värjäyksestä ja painamisesta. Syksyn 2017 aikana tehtaalla on […]

Pre-consumer waste. Post-consumer waste. Zero waste. Pre-sale. Mass-upcycling. Heard them but never really understood them? These terms are unfamiliar to quite many or often confused together. All of these terms back up the circular economy, which is seen, as stated in the previous Lost in terms post, as the future’s business model. Managing textile waste, […]
Up-cycling. Recycling. Down-cycling. A lot of new terms have popped up lately, and they are often new, confused together or misused.
