Capitalizing on Capabilities to Support the Shifting Hygiene Industry
Developed countries are experiencing key demographic shifts, characterized by declining and aging populations. Concurrently, there is a growing shift towards sustainability in consumer products, such as period care and baby care, influenced by regulatory mandates, increased consumer awareness, and generational trends favoring eco-consciousness.
In response to these trends, Magnera is utilizing its expertise in spunlace, airlaid, and wetlaid technologies to offer sustainable solutions through its portfolio. This initiative ensures that every stage of the product lifecycle, from sourcing to end-of-life, aligns with sustainability goals while maintaining high technical performance. Magnera's commitment to innovation supports this transition towards more sustainable practices in the industry.
