Suominen introduces BIOLACE® Ultrasoft, a plant-based, biodegradable, plastic-free, and compostable nonwoven. The Biolace® Ultrasoft is an ideal product for personal care and infant goods. Biolace® Ultrasoft has been developed to meet both customer and consumer sustainability requirements and quality expectations. According to tests conducted by Suominen, the structure and composition of the Biolace Ultrasoft nonwoven fabric provide 25% higher cleaning efficiency compared to 100% viscose spunlace of the same basis weight and 38% higher than polyester wipes.
Suominen Corporation is a Finnish company that makes nonwovens for wiping and hygiene products and healthcare applications. Suominen is the global market leader in nonwovens for wipes and one of the world’s biggest nonwovens manufacturers. Lynda Kelly, Senior Vice President Americas & Business Development at Suominen Corporation, said, “Our strategy is put into action with the new innovative and sustainable products such as Biolace Ultrasoft. In 2020, the sales of sustainable products increased by more than 20% compared to the base year of 2019.”
Skin is a sensitive part of the human body, and it becomes even more delicate when it comes to newborn babies. The utilization of chemicals containing nonwoven wet wipes could cause allergies. Therefore, switching to plant-based products is of utmost importance as it is chemical-free, sustainable, and skin-friendly.
