Spinnova and adidas introduce the all-new hoodie, TERREX HS1, the first adidas product made with the sustainable SPINNOVA® material. This announcement marks an important milestone in SPINNOVA® materials becoming available for consumers globally. Eight months after announcing their partnership, Spinnova and adidas have unveiled the first adidas product made with SPINNOVA® fibres.

Composed of a minimum of 25% wood-based fibres and organic cotton, the adidas TERREX HS1 is a mid-layer knit for hikers that sees adidas exploring a more sustainable textile solution. Working with the material's natural colour, the hoodie is made without dyeing or bleaching chemicals. A limited number of the TERREX HS1 will be made commercially available on adidas.com and in other selected retail outlets with global reach from July, marking a significant milestone in Spinnova's market entry.

Spinnova's first commercial-scale factory is expected to be completed in Finland at the end of this year. Spinnova and its Woodspin joint venture partner Suzano have a scaling target of a million tonnes of global fibre production capacity per annum within the next 10-12 years. As part of ensuring access to future volumes of SPINNOVA®, adidas became a cornerstone investor in Spinnova's initial public offering last June.

- Using SPINNOVA® fibres will allow adidas to make high-performance apparel while reducing the CO2 emissions, water consumption and waste usually required to create such products. The TERREX HS1 is a major step on adidas's journey to create nine out of 10 articles with a sustainable technology, materials, design or manufacturing method by 2025, says Carla Murphy, General Manager of adidas TERREX. SPINNOVA® is a circular textile fibre made of sustainably sourced wood, without harmful chemicals.

It produces 65% less CO2 emissions and uses 99% less water than cotton production and contains zero microplastics.
