Two international industry associations representing companies involved in the global manufacture of hygiene products containing nonwoven textiles have combined forces to launch guidelines for manufacturers to use in determining if their products are suitable for disposal via the wastewater system.

The Guidance Document on the Flushability of Nonwoven Consumer Products, published by INDA and EDANA, represents the first ever initiative to provide companies with a comprehensive framework for testing products to determine their flushability. It reflects the industry’s commitment to responsible use and disposal of the products it makes and distributes.

Ahlstrom, Kimberly-Clark and Procter & Gamble are sponsoring this free Flushability webinar to explain the guidelines and their impact on the industry.

Nonwoven and chemical companies that export their products into Europe are urged to immediately begin the process of complying with the new far-ranging European Union REACH – Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals – Regulations.  The critical pre-registration process for REACH begins June 1, 2008, and continues through November 30, 2008.  Failure to pre-register may require removal of a product from the European market after January 1, 2009.

Being phased in since its inception in June of 2007, REACH is a comprehensive European system that affects all manufacturers who import chemicals into the European Union or produce chemicals in Europe. Basically, it establishes safety and environmental guidelines for chemicals produced in Europe or exported to Europe from anywhere in the world while changing the responsibility from government to industry to prove that a chemical is safe for use. Learn what your company needs to do to comply with the regulations in this free REACH Webinar.
