Swedish-based TreeToTextile drives positive change in the textile industry by providing the next generation of cellulose fiber for a sustainable planet. Together with our committed owners H&M Group, Inter IKEA Group, Stora Enso, Lenzing and LSCS Invest, TreeToTextile is developing a renewable and resource-efficient cellulose fiber with attractive properties and low environmental impact, accessible to everyone. The fiber has the potential to complement or replace parts of the cotton, viscose and polyester markets.

In 2023, the TreeToTextile Demo factory in Nymölla started operation and in June 2024 the first bale of unoptimized fiber was produced. To make the fiber available on a global market, the next step will be to build a flagship factory somewhere in Europe, followed by several super sites globally in the coming years.

TreeToTextile currently has approximately 50 employees. In addition to our own employees, we have a large ecosystem of partners such as strong support from our owners, consultants, development partners, etc. Read more.
