Finland's Infinna gets 99 per cent recycled SCS content certification

Finland’s Infinna has achieved certification for recycled content under the SCS Global Services Recycled Content Standard. The regenerated Infinna textile fibre is certified for having a minimum of 99 per cent post-consumer recycled content. The production process was audited to confirm that it contained ‘around 99 per cent post-consumer recycled cellulose.

SCS Recycled Content Certification is an international standard intended for use with any product containing at least five per cent recycled material, with the goal of increasing the use of recycled materials in products and supply chains. Recycled Content certification independently confirms that products contain specific percentages of recycled content from pre-consumer and post-consumer sources, Infinna said in a press release.

SCS is accredited to provide services under a wide range of nationally and internationally recognised certification programmes. To secure certification, SCS examined our entire production process, tracking raw materials through the supply chain.

“We use cotton-rich post-consumer textile waste as the sole raw material in the production of our regenerated Infinna textile fibre at our pilot facilities, and having validated external proof of this in the form of the SCS Global Recycled Content Certification is a big milestone for us.  We’re thrilled to have received this recognition as it is something we can share with partners and collaborators as we work towards conserving natural resources, stopping waste from being wasted, and making textile circularity an everyday reality,” CEO and co-founder of the company, Petri Alava, said in a statement.
