Talking Digital Industries

How can textiles be produced more sustainably while remaining economically viable? In this episode of Talking Digital Industries, host Alex Chavez explores a groundbreaking innovation in textile fiber production with Juha Salmela, CTO and co-founder of Spinnova, and Eryn Devola, Head of Sustainability at Siemens Digital Industries. Spinnova’s revolutionary textile fiber has a 74% smaller carbon footprint and uses 98% less water than conventional cotton. Even more impressively, its 100% mechanical production process eliminates harmful chemicals and minimizes waste, setting a new standard for sustainable textiles. Learn how this vision is coming to life and how Siemens helps Spinnova scale with digital tools and the power of ecosystems.Spinnova reference
