Here’s your weekly recap—the most-viewed news stories on our site for the week ended Nov. 16, 2024.

Driven by legislative restrictions, such as the European Union’s Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPRW), as well as consumer demand for sustainable options, manufacturers of consumer products like hygiene items and wipes are increasingly adopting more sustainable packaging and waste management practices. However, sourcing and paying for alternative materials is not always easy, nor is paying a higher premium for these solutions. In our latest issue, Nonwovens Industry spoke to companies making and using sustainable packaging in the industry.

Meanwhile, shifts in consumer preferences and new product formats continue to redefine the period care category, while at the same time, competition continues to be high as new brands emerge and established brands continue to expand their product offerings.
