Nordic Outdoor Brand Halti Unveils Parka Jacket Made With SPINNOVA® Fibre and Imogo’s Resource-Efficient Dyeing Available In Spring 2023

Last updated: Mar 22, 2023

Summary

The Cyclus unisex parka jacket is the first product from SPINNOVA® and Halti's collaboration also the first product that incorporates both Spinnova and Imogo Technologies. The parka is made of SPINNOVA® fibre and cotton and has been dyed with imogo's hi-precision dyeing technology.

Problem

Material production, dyeing, and treatment typically account for two-thirds of a garment's CO2 emissions, so replacing traditional textile processing methods with new technologies presents a real opportunity for fashion brands looking to reduce their carbon footprint as well as water and chemical use.

Solution

Halti, a Finnish outdoor brand with over 45 years of experience designing products for outdoor life and sports partners with SPINNOVA® and Imogo Technology to produce Unisex Parka through a concern in material choices.

Outcome

Compared to conventional jet dyeing, Imogo's patented technology saves over 90% of energy, chemicals, and water. Meanwhile, the SPINNOVA® fibre manufacturing process uses little water and no harmful chemicals, and the fibre is completely biodegradable and circular. When replacing conventional cotton with SPINNOVA®, fashion brands can save 6.5 kg CO2e/kg of fibre produced.
