The non-woven wipes market is gaining momentum

The non-woven wipes market is gaining momentum. The two major coups welcomed by the disposable wipes market this summer will help it grow in two important and potentially profitable categories. First, of course, the long-awaited, the final solvent-contaminated wipes rule (better known as the 'scratch rule'), which will help non-washing and wiping wipes to clean the wipes to exempt some one-time wet wipes. Towels are judged from hazardous wastes and contain a certain amount of solvents, and when subjected to certain bedding, they can better compete with these standards. In writing this ruling, it replaced a controversial ruling established in the 1970s. The US Environmental Protection Agency has listened to the expressions of concerns in the nonwoven industry and has been questioning the rules for decades. Assuming these standards are met, users of non-washing wipes will certainly be subject to federal regulations, making their products more attractive options for cleaning in industrial environments. Industry watchdogs feel that the widely adopted ruling is an argument that can be passed on July 31 to neutralize its competitors, and their products are not subject to new market opportunities for non-cleaning wipes manufacturers created by federal supervision. The second milestone is the third edition of the flushability guidelines, developed by INDA and EDANA. The two associations have been tirelessly working on the establishment and revision of these guidelines for more than ten years to help avoid the worry of the disposable wet wipes industry responsible for blocking sewers and other public water supply systems. The latest guidance document, which was revealed in the World China-Japan Wipes Conference, simplified and improved the previous version. For example, it replaces the 23 test, a more transparent, rigorous straight-line assessment using only seven core tests, all of which must pass a layered approach that supports washable claims. In addition, INDA / EDANA has updated the code attached to the practice to include clearer labeling guidelines and as a single 'do not flush' logo. The organization hopes that more manufacturers do not mean washing wipes, such as baby wipes, to use this logo to better inform consumers and help address concerns about potential legislation. Several states, including California, Maine, and New Jersey, have drafted legislation against the wipes industry, and the industry hopes that these efforts will avoid the blockage and breakage of wet wipes that shirk responsibility. These efforts are consolidating cooperation with INDA and NACWA (Association of Clean Water Agencies), who will put a technical advisory committee on how to define differences in flushability between different stakeholders.
