Adapting your production line for biodegradable and plastic-free trends in 2026.
The global “war on plastic” is reshaping the hygiene industry. Governments in Europe and North America are implementing stricter regulations on single-use plastics. For manufacturers, this means your machinery must be ready to handle eco-friendly materials.
Biodegradable Fabrics Standard machines are designed for polyester-blend non-wovens. However, new biodegradable fabrics (like 100% bamboo fiber or flushable wood pulp) behave differently—they have lower tensile strength. Modern machines need sensitive tension control to process these eco-materials without tearing them.
Paper-Based Packaging Films The shift from plastic wrappers to paper-based recyclable films is accelerating. These films require different heat-sealing temperatures and sealing jaw pressures compared to traditional PE/PET films.
