Microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) is obtained through a mechanical fibrillation process of cellulose fibers. The obtained fibrils are much smaller in length and diameter compared to the original fibers and can form a network or a web-like structure resulting in unique features to enable better performance and quality in several applications in different markets.

Finnish company Spinnova has developed environmentally sustainable technology for textile fibre production using MFC. The fibre has already been used in clothing collections by fashion brands, including Adidas, H&M Group, Marimekko, and Bergans, amongst others. To scale up its industrial production, Suzano and Spinnova have established a joint venture Woodspin, which is the exclusive producer and distributor of wood-based SPINNOVA® fibre, using Suzano’s MFC. The industrial production of the textile fibre was started in May, 2023 in Jyväskylä, Finland.
