The global wipes, nonwovens, home and personal care markets are undergoing a huge transition. As well as developing new products that deliver strong profits and provide outstanding performance at great value for consumers, for long-term survival the nonwovens, home and personal care industries must learn how to exploit opportunities in emerging markets and continue investing in strategies, technologies and product lines that support a sustainable future.
Companies such as Unilever and Procter & Gamble (P&G) are placing greater emphasis on greener chemistries and biomaterials and substrates to develop low-temperature laundry liquids, flushable wipes, biodegradable nappies and other sustainable product lines. Retailers too see the potential of the growing market for more green and sustainable personal care and nonwovens and consequently the private label sector is one of the fastest growing segments of these industries.
Investment in new personal care and nonwoven product lines and ranges is being driven by a variety of factors including tougher waste and packaging legislation from governments and legislators, increasingly sophisticated life cycle analysis assessments (LCAs) and consumer purchasing power.

Typical articles and coverage include product launches from brand owners and retailers, new plant and production line investments around the world, including emerging markets and developments and breakthroughs in new chemistries, substrates, processing and other technologies for these industries.
