U.S. Pacific
U.S. Pacific is committed to minimizing environmental effects and protecting the planet’s resources. They are achieving their sustainability goals with their bio-based spunbond nonwovens./p>
Major nonwoven and engineered fabric companies are taking great leaps to improve their efforts in sustainability. From diapers to hospital wraps, and disinfecting wipes to coffee filters - nonwovens and engineered materials are part of our daily life. INDA is proud to share their successes in three categories: Innovations in sustainability, making intentional changes to generate long-term social and environmental benefits, responsible sourcing; using materials that are primarily bio-based or from feedstocks drawing on regenerative, and/or sustainable agriculture principles to advance circularity, and end-of-life solutions - incorporating materials that are either recyclable or biodegradable.

Based in Germany, Winkler+Dünnebier (W+D) designs and builds top-level machines for the manufacturing of disposable hygiene products. The company has recently introduced a concept for more sustainable products, focusing on the replacement of the typical PE single-wrap pouch. By applying technology from W+D’s high-speed handkerchief machines, they’ve developed a system for creating a small count of three to five folded products, wrapped in a reclosable pouch. With up to 300 ministacks per minute, the capacity of this product’s production system far exceeds the speed of typical hygiene bagfillers. Wrapping material can include classic PE film, bio-based or recycled materials.
