In the hygiene and health sector, recycled polyester fiber offers efficient, sustainable solutions in a great variety of products.
When we talk about hygiene and medical applications, we are also talking about human lives. That’s why the textiles used in hospitals, in wards and in the operating rooms are not only essential products, but also sensitive ones. As are other items – disposable nappies, wet wipes and female hygiene products—whose environmental impact is minimised by opting for this alternative material. The strength and durability of recycled fibers are also perfect for creating single-use medical clothing and personal protective equipment, especially in nonwoven fabrics.
