Woolchemy NeweZorb is an ultra-absorbent, breathable textile that can absorb over 10 times more moisture than its original weight while still feeling dry and comfortable. It offers an alternative to synthetic textiles in hygiene applications, such as diapers (nappies), incontinence and feminine hygiene products. Image Woolchemy.

Kvadrat Really materials are produced from recycled textiles collected from production waste, industrial laundries, the fashion industry and Kvadrat’s production and supply chain. The textiles are sorted by colour and re-milled in Denmark. Subsequently, the fibres are either blended into standard products or used to create a nonwoven base for Kvadrat Really materials, such as acoustic solutions and panels for furniture and interiors. The compressed panels are made with 9% bio-based polypropylene (bio-PP) and 17% bio-based polyethylene (bio-PE) binder. According to the company's environmental product declaration (EPD), Kvadrat Really has a carbon footprint of 0.95 kgCO2/kg in the production phase (excluding use and end of life). The standard product is 10 mm thick and 1100 x 3000 mm, weighing 29 kg. This gives a density of around 88 kg/m3. Image Kvadrat.

Woola develop recycled wool based textiles that provide an alternative to plastic bubblewrap for packaging delicate items during transportation. The recycled wool fibres are bound with a small proportion of polylactic acid (PLA), which the company are phasing out to go plastic free. Image Woola.

Natural fibre panels produced in a single step involving compression and injection moulding. Fibres are typically hemp, flax, jute or kenaf, mixed with polypropylene (PP) or polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyester, which melt when heat and pressure is applied locking them in place. The over-moulding is with PP for integration and added stiffness.

Natural fibre panels used in automotive interior applications, such as this compressed nonwoven, are replacing glass filled and wood filled polypropylene (PP-GF and PP-WF) materials. They offer superior strength to weight combined with impact resistance. Fibres are typically hemp, flax, jute or kenaf, mixed with PP or polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyester, which melt when heat and pressure is applied locking them in place.
