Anti-plastic directives and changing consumer tastes have opened up doors for biodegradable and natural materials.
Many countries have established relevant laws limiting the use of plastics. In particular, the European Union has been one of the tops all over the world in terms of plastic pollution control. Up to now, 23 countries within the European Union have legislated or taken action on SUP (Single Use Plastics) directive. In addition, the European Union’s single-use plastics directive will be set to go into effect, which has put pressure on wipes and hygiene products manufacturing industries. These products are on the first list of products subject to regulations and labeling requirements. A reduction in plastic-based fibers will lead to increases in the use of both natural and man-made cellulosic fibers which offer benefits such as biodegradability and contribute to the goal of environmental protection and sustainable development.
Another aspect of promoting the development of biodegradable materials is consumers’ choices. Consumers always make choices about product qualities that are important to them. They pay more attention to materials that enter and touch the body. Is the product environmentally friendly? Is it safe to use on our skin? And natural materials tend to be safer and healthier. This also drives the demand for more natural materials. As nonwoven industry professional manufacturers, we use this information to choose a direction about materials and techniques in developing our products. What materials we use is one of the biggest factors that will have greatly influenced what we can choose. Choosing a fiber that is eco-friendly and hypoallergenic is not only good for the environment, but also helps keep people safe and healthy.
Based on these reasons that are driven by combined forces of global plastics legislation, strong consumer preferences, and some other factors, demands biodegradable fibers will be set for rapid growth in the future as the suppliers of spun lace nonwoven fabric manufacturing.
Viscose is a higher-cost performance choice among all biodegradable fibers in the field of spun lace nonwoven fabric manufacturing. People may be a little unfamiliar with viscose， But because of the natural properties like absorbency, softness, and skin-friendliness, viscose fibers have been playing an important role in the hygiene sector for many years, and increasing demand for environmentally friendly solutions has made them even more important. In addition to their natural properties, viscose offer flexibility to customize to the specific requirements of the special nonwoven fabric. Although a synthetic fiber, viscose offers sustainability qualities in nonwoven applications.
As the general public demands more recycled content in the nonwoven fabrics they buy, spunlace nonwoven manufacturers are looking for solutions that are sustainable. We have developed Viscose Spunlace Nonwoven Fabric, Wood pulp Viscose Spunlace Nonwoven Fabric, Cotton Spunlace Nonwoven Fabric, Lyocell Spunlace Nonwoven Fabri, Cupra Spunlace Nonwoven Fabric, Bamboo Fiber Spunlace Nonwoven Fabric and other nonwoven fabrics by using these biodegradable fibers.
As an excellent biodegradable material, viscose is used in the production of Viscose Spunlace Nonwoven Fabric and Wood Pulp Viscose Spunlace Nonwoven Fabric. Viscose Spunlace Nonwoven Fabric is made of 100% viscose. Because of its high liquid absorption, low lint, skin-friendly, and two uses in dry and wet, it is widely used in wet wipes, facial masks, and facial wash towels. Wood Pulp Viscose Spunlace Nonwoven Fabric is made of wood pulp and viscose. It also has the characteristics of high liquid absorption, soft hand feeling, solvent resistance, and biodegradability, which can be used for wet wipes, facial wash towels, dry hair towels, bath towels, cleaning wipes, and other fields. In addition, Cotton Spunlace Nonwoven Fabric, Lyocell Spunlace Nonwoven Fabri, Cupra Spunlace Nonwoven Fabric, and Bamboo Fiber Spunlace Nonwoven Fabric also have unique and excellent characteristics. Customers can choose the product according to their needs.
We believe that degradability is an important path for spunlaced nonwoven fabrics in the future, and we will continue to study in the direction of sustainable development.
