Lenzing’s Bio-Based Nonwoven Solutions Gain International Recognition

During the first half of 2026, Lenzing Group brought its bio-based nonwoven solutions to industry professionals at CIDPEX China, Techtextil Frankfurt and INDEX Geneva, attracting attention with the innovative applications offered by the LENZING™ Nonwoven Technology platform. Throughout these exhibitions, the company presented scalable cellulose-based solutions developed as alternatives to fossil-based nonwoven materials.

As one of the world’s leading producers of regenerated cellulose fibers for the nonwovens and textiles industries, Lenzing highlighted solutions developed particularly for hygiene products, wipes and technical nonwoven applications. CIDPEX 2026, held in Nanjing, China, strengthened the company’s visibility in the Asian market and contributed to reinforcing the regional position of VEOCEL™ branded fibers.

Strong Interest in LENZING™ Nonwoven Technology

At Techtextil 2026 in Frankfurt and INDEX 2026 in Geneva, Lenzing introduced the LENZING™ Nonwoven Technology platform through interactive application areas. Visitors had the opportunity to directly experience the performance, versatility and application benefits of cellulose-based nonwoven solutions. The company emphasized that LENZING™ Nonwoven Technology combines renewable raw materials with advanced fiber and web technologies to deliver high-performance and scalable alternatives that support sustainability objectives.

Prestigious INDEX Award for DualWipe

One of the most significant achievements during the exhibition period was the recognition of LENZING™ DualWipe with the INDEX™ 26 Award. Winner of the Nonwovens Roll Goods category, the product combines two functional surfaces within a single wipe. One side provides an abrasive effect for efficient cleaning, while the other offers high absorbency and softness for wiping applications. Free from synthetic fibers, binders and chemical finishing agents, the product also eliminates the risk of microplastic shedding commonly associated with conventional synthetic wipes.

Cellulose-Based Technologies at the Heart of Sustainable Transformation

Lenzing positions its nonwoven solutions in line with the European Union Bioeconomy Strategy. By developing industrial-scale solutions for hygiene, wipes and technical nonwoven applications, the company aims to contribute to reducing dependence on fossil-based raw materials. Through its expertise in fiber technologies, application know-how and collaborations across the value chain, Lenzing continues to strengthen its position as a key technology provider developing sustainable material solutions for the global nonwovens industry.
