SERVICES
Rhea Solutions mainly works on long-term projects with companies and research organisations. We help them develop new circular and sustainable businesses, and related communications. With communication projects, we aim for systemic change and put research results into practice for both decision-makers and the general public.
The circular economy of textiles
We are experts in the different aspects of the textile circular economy and we have a comprehensive network in the field in Finland and internationally. Together with our partners, we are involved in building new circular value chains.
Our extensive expertise in the textile circular economy is the result of many years of work in the field. If necessary, we can complement Kirsti and Sini‘s technical expertise with, for example, design expertise.Our customers operate in areas including research, capital investment and regional development.
Research and consulting
We work in close cooperation with Aalto University and other research institutes in the FINIX and ForTran consortia, and we use the latest research data in our consulting work.
We carry out surveys related to the textile, wood and plastic circular economies. We also provide consulting services for companies that receive support from Finnpartnership to help them develop their businesses.
Corporate responsibility and communications
We are your partner when you want to build your own path towards more responsible operations and benefit from the latest research results.
Rhea Solutions acts as an impact facilitator in the FINIX sustainable textile systems and ForTran forestry sector projects on the Just Transition, which are funded by Strategic Research Council in Finland (SRC).
Sini Suomalainen conceived and led the Kuituus project, which was implemented in 2021. This gathered research information about potential new industrial users for recycled textile fibres.
