Fibertex supplies ISCC Plus certified nonwovens for more sustainable diaper production

Fibertex Personal Care, one of the world’s largest manufacturers of spunbond/spunmelt nonwoven fabrics for the personal care industry, announced it has started supplying large quantities of ISCC Plus-certified nonwovens for the production of diapers.

With the certification, Fibertex meets the market demand for greener products. The primary demand is bio-based nonwoven solutions and this new supply supports the ambitious goals for CO2 reductions.

“Since we first launched – and were certified to supply – nonwovens solutions fulfilling these demands two years ago, the market has experienced an increased awareness of environmentally friendly products influencing the demand for sustainable nonwoven solutions positively,” the company wrote on a statement.

Two years ago, the company’s plant in Denmark obtained ISCC Plus certification – as the world’s first producer of nonwovens for medical and hygiene applications –, and shortly after, its plant in Malaysia obtained the same certification.

“It is a huge breakthrough for Fibertex Personal Care – and for the industry in general – as an important contribution to a more sustainable and responsible supply chain” says Mette Due Søgaard, QA & Sustainability Director”.

ISCC Plus is a supply chain certification for circular (recycled) and bio-based materials that provide traceability throughout the supply chain via mass balance. It also verifies that certified companies meet high environmental and social standards.
