GlatPure Portfolio
This portfolio provides a range of bio-based and absorbent hygiene components derived from renewable materials. This new generation of absorbent hygiene components consists of a fully functional topsheet, acquisition distribution layer, absorbent core, and backsheet. GlatPure materials are made with 100% plant-based and renewable fibers and can be functionalized by organic binders, resulting in the ability to be biodegradable.
Sontara Silk
This product is a facial mask that perfectly fits facial contours, is luxurious on the skin and has minimal impact on the environment. When infused with lotion, the mask has enhanced elasticity, conforms closely to the skin, and has excellent adhesion. Sontara Silk has superior translucency and ensures an even penetration of active ingredients on the skin. Sontara Silk fabric is manufactured with premium fibers derived from natural raw materials that allow the product to be biodegradable and compostable.
Sontara EC Green
Sontara EC Green is the latest addition to the Sontara EC product line of effective and superior cleaning products, adding a more sustainable option to the proven performance, reliability, and quality of its Sontara EC portfolio. Sontara EC Green is a unique, high-performance, 100% cellulosic wipe, made from proprietary Sontara technology. The product’s ultra-pure production process creates a 100% bio-based and compostable wipe without any binders or chemicals.
Home Compostable Airlaid Material
Glatfelter and Organoclick, the inventor and supplier of the bio-based and home compostable binder OC-BioBinder, have collaborated in the development of an airlaid material that is 100% bio-based, biodegradable and certified as home compostable. By optimizing the use of renewable raw materials and adjusting the airlaid composition, Glatfelter has been able to create soft, but strong, organic-based tabletop products. These advantages and features allow the product to degrade in consumers’ composts or offer the opportunity to the food service industry to dispose of the napkins together with other organic waste. This material can be used for many other applications as well.
