Kuura is an innovative textile fibre developed by Metsä Group's innovation company, Metsä Spring. It is designed to offer a sustainable alternative in the textile industry, emphasizing environmental responsibility and circular economy principles.

Kuura fibre is produced from 100% certified Finnish forests, ensuring traceability and sustainability.

The fibre is biodegradable, recyclable, and produced within a closed-loop system, minimizing environmental impact. It is locally produced, with wood, pulp, and fibre production occurring within a 100 km radius.

The fibre has gained recognition for its sustainability, receiving a 'Green Shirt' rating and improving its score in Canopy's Hot Button Ranking. Metsä Spring continues to develop Kuura, aiming to expand its commercial production capabilities.
