MUNICH – Norwegian outdoor brand Bergans and Finnish fibre company Spinnova are the recipients of both a Sustainability Achievement of the Year 2020 award and Scandinavian Outdoor award, for a subscription-based takeback and reuse concept launched late last year.
The pairs’ Collection of Tomorrow service has been recognised at the ongoing ISPO trade show after first being introduced in November with the unveiling of a prototype ‘sustainable’ backpack – which at its end-of-life will be mechanically recycled and repurposed.
“We couldn't be happier or more honoured to receive an award from two big sports and outdoor textile communities,” said Spinnova CTO and co-founder, Juha Salmela.
