Founding story
Teemu, COO
Heikki, CEO
Leading the charge towards a sustainable future, Untuvia’s story began in spring 2023 when Heikki Kärkkäinen burned a hole in his down jacket while hiking in Kevo Canyon, in Finnish Lapland. Recycling the jacket proved difficult, and a year later working with Teemu Lemetti, the idea resurfaced with the pair sharing stories about their love for the outdoors. Together, the pair identified and validated painpoints in down recycling and set out to find the opening to disrupt the market.

Revolutionary natural down recycling
Down feather is a magnificent premium material. Despite high demand from the textile industry, only 1% is currently recycled.
Untuvia has developed a first-in-class recycling technology that enables large-scale production of cost-effective, high-quality recycled down.
Untuvia’s proprietary, waterless and toxic-free, revolutionary innovation has the potential to make down the first major fibre-to-fibre recycling victory for the textile industry.
