Since its first launch – and when Fibertex was 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, according to a press release by Fibertex.
“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,” said Mette Due Sogaard, QA and sustainability director.
Fibertex’s factory in Denmark achieved ISCC Plus certification two years ago – as the world’s first producer of nonwovens for hygiene and medical applications. Shortly after, the company’s Malaysian factory obtained the same certification. It now leads the way for adding new CO2 reduced consumer products on the shelves, added the release.
ISCC Plus is a supply chain certification for circular (recycled) and bio-based materials that provides traceability throughout the supply chain via mass balance. It also verifies that certified companies meet high environmental and social standards.
