KEMI - Finnish textile innovator Infinited Fiber Company (IFC) has revealed that the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine have pushed back the likely start of production at its new flagship factory.
With demand for its Infinna fibre, which is produced from cotton-rich textile waste, strong from its brand partners, the company says it is now also exploring other ways to achieve commercial scale production.
IFC announced in June that it was to build its first commercial-scale factory on the site of a paper mill in the town of Kemi in northern Finland's Lapland region to produce up to 30,000 tons a year of Infinna.
