In a groundbreaking stride towards environmental responsibility, Lenzing, a trailblazer in sustainable fibers, has unleashed a game-changer in the nonwoven wipes industry. According to Smithers’ latest report, the global demand for nonwoven wipes skyrocketed to 1.5 million tons, valued at an impressive $20.8 billion in 2022. Anticipating an eco-conscious future, the market is projected to surge even further, reaching an astonishing 2.1 million tons, valued at an estimated US$29 billion by 2027.
What sets this revolution apart is Lenzing’s unwavering commitment to differentiating between wipes that accelerate environmental degradation and those that champion sustainability.
