100% environmentally friendly and degradable hygiene wipes: Voith and Trützschler Nonwovens supply another carded/pulp (CP) system for EcoWipes’ Tricell nonwoven

To further drive the company’s growth, the Polish nonwovens manufacturer EcoWipes has commissioned Voith and Trützschler Nonwovens with the delivery of a second carded/pulp (CP) system at the Nowy Dwor site in Poland. The first CP line, which was also supplied by Voith and Trützschler Nonwovens, has been a great success thanks to the increasing demand for environmentally friendly hygiene wipes on the international markets. With the help of the CP technology, a cost-effective, wet-laid pulp layer can be combined with a carded nonwoven layer made of cellulose fibers. The environmentally friendly CP nonwovens are 100% degradable, cost-effective to produce and meet all market requirements.
“We have a very good partnership with Voith. Therefore, when the full-line supplier, together with Trützschler Nonwovens, launched CP technology on an industrial scale a few years ago, we took the risk – and it paid off, even faster than we thought,” says Gabriel Kermiche, CEO of EcoWipes. “Our hygiene wipes are in great demand in Poland, in Europe and even overseas. Based on the leading technologies and with our own process innovations, we have developed our patented Tricell nonwoven. Due to the high pulp content, we can also significantly reduce production costs.”
