AALBORG - Fibertex Personal Care has started supplying large quantities of ISCC Plus-certified nonwovens for the production of diapers.

The primary demand is for its bio-based nonwoven solutions, supporting the industry's ambitious goals for CO2 reductions.

Since Fibertex Personal Care first launched – and 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. “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 Søgaard, QA & Sustainability Director.”

The company's facility Denmark achieved ISCC Plus certification two years ago as the world's first producer of nonwovens for hygiene and medical applications under this standard. Shortly after, the Fibertex's Malaysian factory obtained the same certification.

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.
