Top Producers of Biodegradable and Plant-Based Nonwoven Fabric

A nonwoven fabric is a textile made by bonding fibers together mechanically, thermally, or chemically rather than weaving them like traditional fabrics. As the name suggests, biodegradable nonwovens are nonwoven fabrics that break down naturally in the environment without leaving harmful residues.

These fabrics are typically manufactured using natural materials like cotton, wool, or bamboo, or synthetic materials such as polylactic acid (PLA) or polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs). They have various applications in packaging, agriculture, horticulture, hygiene products, and other industries.

The use of biodegradable nonwoven materials in hygiene products, for instance, is a more environmentally friendly option compared to traditional nonwoven fabrics that are often made from synthetic materials, which can take years to decompose in the environment. By utilizing biodegradable materials, these fabrics can help reduce the amount of waste in landfills or pollute the ecosystem. Additionally, they can contribute to a more sustainable future for our planet.

We specialize in producing Spunlace nonwoven fabric for our hygiene segment, which includes a range of products such as baby diapers, sanitary napkins, wet wipes, and surgical apparel such as caps, masks, and gowns. Spunlace nonwoven fabric, or hydroentangled fabric, is a unique type of nonwoven material composed of fibres entangled together using high-pressure water jets.

During production, high-pressure water jets are directed at a web of fibres, interlocking and entangling fibers to create a cohesive and durable cloth. This manufacturing method creates a final product that is soft, absorbent, and long-lasting, with a texture similar to woven fabrics. Spunlace nonwoven fabric can be produced from various materials, including natural fibers such as cotton or wool, synthetic fibers like polyester or nylon, or a combination.

One of the main advantages of our Spunlace nonwoven fabric is that it is made from natural fibers, meaning it is biodegradable and safer for the environment. Additionally, our fabric is lightweight, making it more sustainable and environmentally friendly. With our commitment to producing high-quality, sustainable products, we are proud to offer Spunlace nonwoven fabrics that meet customer needs across the hygiene industry.

Plant-based fibers are natural fibers derived from various plant sources. They are widely used in the textile industry to manufacture fabrics and textiles for different applications, including clothing, home furnishings, and industrial products. The most commonly used plant-based fibers include cotton, linen, hemp, jute, bamboo, and sisal.

For instance, Oceancash’s wet wipes are made from a combination of polyester and organic bamboo fiber, a fast-growing and eco-friendly plant-based fiber derived from the bamboo plant. Bamboo fiber is well-known for its softness, breathability, and moisture-wicking properties, so it’s a popular choice in clothing and bedding. Additionally, bamboo is an incredibly sustainable fabric because it uses less water and pesticides than cotton.

When added to Spunlace material, plant-based fibers can help retain moisture for an extended period, ensuring thorough cleaning and enhanced comfort for your loved ones. In addition, by incorporating plant-based fibers into our products, we can provide our customers with high-quality, sustainable materials that offer both superior performance and environmental benefits.
