Following Advancements in Nonwovens
We follow advancements in sustainable, plastic-free materials, such as cellulose-based fibres, biodegradable polymers, and natural fibres, which can be used in various nonwoven applications across multiple industries. We work with clients to assess their unique needs and offer tailored solutions that incorporate plastic-free nonwovens, ensuring a balance between sustainability, functionality, and cost-effectiveness.
Focus on Flushability
Flushability is a significant concern for certain types of nonwoven products, particularly those used for personal hygiene and cleaning, such as wet wipes, baby wipes, and personal care wipes. The relevance of flushability for nonwovens lies in its implications for waste management, environmental impact, and the proper functioning of wastewater infrastructure.
We can help your organisation navigate every aspect of the journey towards flushability and work with water companies, governments and manufacturers to ensure maximum environmental benefit.
