Two of the nominations for this year’s INDEX™23 Innovation Awards in the Finished Products category couldn’t be further apart in terms of end-use, yet both are the result of advanced new technologies for adding further functionality to absorbent nonwovens.
Despite a fall in energy prices from the highs of 2022, they will remain a major topic at INDEX™23, in parallel with the push to achieve further CO2 reductions across the supply chain, according to members of the show’s advisory board.
As INDEX™23 in Geneva approaches, all the indications are that international business is now fully bouncing back for the nonwovens industry, which is highly globalised and well-balanced, with integrated supply chains on every continent.
At INDEX™23 in Geneva this April, it will be evident that plant automation is becoming a must for advanced manufacturers of nonwoven roll goods for the absorbent hygiene products (AHPs) industry.
For many years now, reducing energy costs has been central to the ongoing development of technologies for the production of nonwovens and at INDEX™23 in Geneva from 18-21 April 2023, visitors will discover many new advances aimed at lowering consumption.
