Suominen has introduced Biolace Ultrasoft, a nonwoven for personal care and baby products made of plant-based, biodegradable, plastic-free, and compostable raw materials. It is the newest addition to Suominen’s sustainable product portfolio and a continuation for our growing Biolace product line that was launched over a decade ago.
 

Suominen’s strategy focuses on growth by creating innovative and more sustainable nonwovens. “Our strategy is put into action with the new innovative and sustainable products such as Biolace Ultrasoft. In 2020, the sales of sustainable products increased by more than 20% compared to the base year of 2019,” says Lynda Kelly, SVP, Americas & Business Development.

Biolace Ultrasoft was developed to match both the sustainability demands and the quality expectations of our customers and the consumers.
