The development of environmental non-woven fabrics is largely due to innovations in the field of raw materials, such as fibers, such as shredded silk, ingeo lactic acid of natural products or something like cotton or bamboo will increase their importance in non-woven fabrics.
The rise in oil prices, as strongly as the demand for green non-woven fabrics, has driven the shift in this new material.
\"High oil prices have really accelerated the change in oil prices.
Other fiber options . \"
Hrinko explained.
According to supply chain manager Janet o\'regen, cotton, like shredded rice, has always benefited from the status of natural fibers.
\"With the development of science and technology, the impact of cotton on the environment is getting smaller and smaller.
\"Fiber also benefits from advances in water entanglement technology and investment in cotton processing machinery by many non-woven manufacturers.
\"Cotton is strong as a consumer product,\" says Janet Reid of cotton . \".
\"People have a lot of benefits for cotton.

Wet wipes included.
In fact, natural fiber is an important part of Ahlstrom\'s commitment to the environment, and its goal is to increase the content of natural fiber on all non-woven production lines.
Recently, the diversified burrito producer has expanded the production of natural fibers beyond the water spurs and wipes.
Its latest textile-adhesive production line in Chirnside, Scotland, has the ability to process Ingeo PLA fibers, enabling it to manufacture compost, biodegradable non-wood for infusion applications.
Marco Martinez said: \"The reduction in environmental impact is the standard when investing in our new infusionmarkets technology, and it is also a cradle of independent life cycle analysis, which confirms this.
\"The new grade is designed for conversion on ultrasonic machines, producing tea bags of all shapes, designed for small and large leaf teas and infusion.
Other green products from Ahlstrom include the easylife portfolio of its wall covering non-woven fabrics, which contains up to 60% renewable fibers, as well as a range of new technology non-woven fabrics, embroidery backing used to meet the world\'s most stringent standards for formaldehyde content.

Traditional fiber
Basic businesses like needles, water spurs and thermal bonding have gone very directly to commercialize.
More effort is needed for the spinning method, but the leading company has been successful and is now offering commercial products.
We are also working hard to develop the fusion spray app and see important opportunities in this area.
\"In almost all the markets we operate, the demand for products with Green functions is increasing ,\"Martinez said.
\"In all areas, we see an increasing interest in more eco-friendly products from consumers, end users and converters.
While all participants in the value chain have become more eco-friendly, there are also a growing number of specific regulations driving the process.
