Are you looking technologies for textile recycling processes?

At Valmet, we provide cutting-edge technologies to support your textile recycling processes, helping you optimize both mechanical and chemical operations according to your specific fiber needs. Learn more about our technologies and how you can benefit from high-performance solutions tailored to your specific fiber needs.

Are you developing novel cellulosic fibers?

Technologies for man-made cellulosic fibers (MMCF) enable precise control over fiber properties, such as strength and texture, making it ideal for diverse textile applications. Learn more how we can support your development projects.

Pilot facilities and lab services

We also offer comprehensive pilot facilities and lab services, allowing you to run tests on a set-up that mirrors your current process configuration or alternatively the one you´re looking for to set up or scale up. Read more about our pilot facilities here.

Partnering for textile fiber innovations

We’re proud to collaborate with forward-thinking companies like Spinnova and Circulose (Renewcell) to drive innovation in sustainable textiles. By combining our fiber treatment expertise with new technologies, we help bring their groundbreaking visions to life—from pilot projects to commercial-scale demonstration plants. These partnerships are a testament to our commitment to advancing sustainable solutions in the textile industry.

Breaking through the textile industry

Circulose dissolving pulp uses cellulose from discarded textiles that is then spun into soft and breathable new textile materials like viscose and lyocell. Renewcell and Valmet have worked closely on this groundbreaking innovation from the first pilot trials to the first-of-a-kind industrial-scale production line.

Pioneering sustainable wood-based Spinnova® fiber production

Spinnova’s mission is to transform the global textile production and raw material base to make it more sustainable. To make this happen Spinnova has joined forces with Suzano through their Woodspin project, which aims to produce sustainable textile fibers from wood without using harmful chemicals.

Collaboration that pushes boundaries

Innovation thrives on collaboration, and we’re proud to work with industry leaders through initiatives like Valmet’s Beyond Circularity program and other partnerships. Together, we’re developing technologies that not only meet today’s sustainability goals but also pave the way for the future of textiles within a circular economy.

Changing the global textile industry for the better

Renewcell creates its new Circulose dissolving pulp by using cellulose from discarded textiles. This is then spun into new soft and breathable textile materials like viscose and lyocell. Big brands like Levi’s, Calvin Klein, H&M, and Tommy Hilfiger are already using it and Valmet supplied the technology for the first industrial-scale production line.

Go big! Scaling up textile fiber processes

As the textile industry accelerates development towards more sustainable production, companies increasingly need support to scale-up their ideas.

Pioneering sustainable wood-based Spinnova® fiber production

Spinnova’s mission is to transform the global textile production and raw material base to make it more sustainable. To make this happen Spinnova has joined forces with Suzano through their Woodspin project, which aims to produce sustainable textile fibers from wood without using harmful chemicals.
