Letter From the President

Consumers like the convenience that wipes offer but did you know wipes are very sustainable in many ways throughout the supply chain?
- Nonwovens used in wipes are often made from renewable friendly fibers such as viscose, cotton or even PLA from corn.
- Industrial wipes enhance worker safety and keep contaminants out of our waterways by avoiding laundering of rags.
-

Wipes weigh less and take up less shelf space at the retailer than bottles of liquid in a rigid container.

- Flexible packaging, also known as flat packs or peel & seal, have very little post consumer waste for landfill.
- The energy cost to produce a film roll of 100,000 impressions is less than it takes to produce 100,000 plastic containers.
-

A truck that holds 40,000 empty containers going to be filled, could hold several million impressions of film for packaging.

-

The same truck returning will hold 40,000 filled containers but could carry several hundred thousand flexible packages of wipes.
