Metsä commented the aftereffects of the tests were “generally excellent information”, affirming the new filament showed the least effect on environmental change contrasted with other business man-made cellulosic filaments, like lyocell, viscous & cotton.

Kuura is made with spruce & pine, reasonably oversaw Finnish timberlands which have nearly multiplied in size since 1970, making them a significant carbon sink, as indicated by Metsä.
