Eight months after Adidas announced its partnership with Finnish textile material company Spinnova, the brand has unveiled its first product made in part with Spinnova fibers. Composed of a minimum of 25% wood-based fibers and 75% organic cotton, the Adidas TERREX HS1 is a mid-layer for hikers that sees Adidas exploring a more sustainable textile solution. By 2025, nine out of 10 Adidas articles will carry a more sustainable technology, material, design, or manufacturing method, and Adidas’s partnership with Spinnova is a significant part of this journey.
Adidas is committed to helping end plastic waste via a three-loop strategy that uses recycled materials, materials that can be remade into entirely new products, and, in the case of Made with Nature, products created in part with natural ingredients such as the Adidas TERREX HS1. Its outdoor brand, Adidas TERREX, is leading the innovation of technical materials intending to help drive better product solutions for adventurers in nature while ensuring no compromise on style or performance.
Spinnova transforms the way textiles are manufactured globally.
Based in Finland, Spinnova has developed a breakthrough technology for making textile fiber out of wood or waste, such as leather, textile, or food waste, without harmful chemicals. The patented SPINNOVA® fiber creates zero waste and side streams or microplastics, and its CO2 emissions and water use are minimal.
SPINNOVA® materials are quickly biodegradable and circular.
Spinnova is committed to using only sustainable raw materials such as FSC certified wood and waste.
A limited number of the Adidas TERREX HS1 will be commercially available on adidas.com and other selected retail outlets from July. As an investor in their breakthrough technology for manufacturing textile fibers out of renewable materials, Adidas is working with Spinnova to scale-up production of Spinnova fibers for use in more products.
