During 2023, cable car owners at ski sites across Austria have been carrying out field trials with nonwoven geotextiles based on Lenzing cellulosic fibres.
The next major market for nonwoven fabrics is likely to be as the preferred filter media carrier materials for a fast-rising and as yet little-known technology called Direct Air Capture (DAC).
The range of nonwoven applications for recycled fibres has the potential to be significantly expanded in response to new European Union targets which aim to create and retain value from post-consumer textile waste.
The nonwovens industry continues to push at the barriers of what is materially and technically possible in pursuit of ever-more sustainable and competitive products.
Duni Group, the Swedish leader in tableware for the restaurant and hotel industries, has this year launched a range of premium napkins based on airlaid nonwovens that are fossil-free, fully renewable and available in a range of colours thanks to the innovation of INDEX™23 exhibitor OrganoClick.
