By GlobalDataLast week, the London-based fashion brand of H&M COS also announced that it will open its first Iceland store in Reykjavík later this year.
Last month, H&M announced Stora Enso has joined TreeToTextile. Stora Enso is a Finland-based manufacturer of pulp, paper and other forest products.
Established in 2014, the TreeToTextile is a joint venture between H&M group, Inter IKEA group and Lars Stigsson. It focusses on developing new textile fibres in a sustainable way at low-cost levels.
TreeToTextile uses renewable forest raw material and regenerates the cellulose into a textile fibre.
As part of the partnership, Stora Enso will support the industrialisation of TreeToTextile’s production process through a demonstration plant at one of its Nordic facilities.
