Have you heard? - Woodspin has been awarded FSC® Chain of Custody certification.   Woodspin, the exclusive producer and seller of wood-based SPINNOVA® fibre, has obtained Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC) Chain of Custody certification. This recognises that wood used by Woodspin for its manufacturing can be fully traced from its origin to the final fibre product, providing its customers with the assurance of sustainable sourcing.   Jari Aittakari said” “Consumers and stakeholders at every stage of the textiles value chain deserve to know the origin of the products they buy, that these have been ethically produced, and that the materials used to make them have been sustainably sourced. We recognise that the demand for supply chain transparency is increasing. This FSC® certification demonstrates to our partners – be that brands or producers – that Woodspin’s SPINNOVA® fibre is produced to the highest standard, from farm to fibre, without compromise.” www.woodspin.com #fsc #Spinnova #Suzano

Day 42: What are nurdles? Nurdles, or plastic pellets, are small, lentil-sized pieces of plastic that are the building blocks for most plastic products. It takes roughly 600 nurdles to create one small plastic disposable water bottle. It is estimated that 11.5 trillion nurdles end up in the ocean every year. If you were to link them up in a chain, they would circle the earth one and a half times. Their small size and weight mean they are easy to transport but very difficult to retrieve when they spill into the marine environment. Every year for the past ten years, the Scottish NGO Fidra has hosted The Great Global Nurdle Hunt. By using the data gathered by The Great Global Nurdle Hunt, Fidra is showing industry and decision-makers that there is a problem and is working with companies to find practical solutions to this issue. The American Chemistry Council also have a voluntary code of best practice, Operation Clean Sweep, to reduce the amount of nurdle loss.
