Biodegradable fibres and recycled polyester, manufactured in the weight and width you specify.
- Polymers and fibres
- Viscose · Lyocell · Cotton · Bamboo · PLA (polylactic acid) · Recycled polyester fibres from certified recyclers
- Construction
- Parallel-laid · Cross-lapped · 30-200 GSM
- Specify
- Basis weight (GSM), width, colour, treatment and finish, to order. Minimum order: one 40-foot container.
Properties
- Biodegradable in landfill and marine environments
- Independently tested to ASTM D5511 for biodegradation under accelerated landfill conditions
- Leaves no plastic residue; remaining soil supports plant growth
- Strength and durability comparable to virgin polyester
- Recycled-polyester constructions cut manufacturing waste and carbon emissions versus virgin fibre
Applications
- Disposable wipes
- Hygiene products
- Packaging
- Agriculture
- Apparel interlinings
- Single-use and reusable medical textiles
Technical notes
Sustainability is now a specification requirement, not an afterthought. We manufacture nonwovens from renewable, biodegradable fibres, viscose, lyocell, cotton, bamboo and PLA, as an alternative to fully synthetic constructions, and from recycled polyester for programmes that need to cut virgin-fibre use without giving up performance.
Independent testing under ASTM D5511 shows these constructions reaching advanced biodegradation under accelerated landfill conditions, with no plastic residue left behind. The fabric performs like a standard nonwoven in process and in use; the difference is what happens to it at end of life.
We manufacture bio-based and recycled-polyester nonwovens from 30 to 200 GSM, in parallel-laid or cross-lapped construction, matched to the strength and hand a disposable or reusable product needs.
We manufacture bio-based and recycled-polyester nonwovens to order. Tell us the fibre blend, basis weight, width and end use and we will quote the specification delivered.
