The Lenzing Group, a leading producer of regenerated cellulose fibers, has strengthened its position in the nonwovens industry by showcasing scalable, bio-based solutions at three major international fairs in the first half of 2026: CIDPEX in China, Techtextil in Frankfurt, and INDEX in Geneva. The company demonstrated how its fiber portfolio and LENZING™ Nonwoven Technology (LNT) offer alternatives to fossil-based nonwoven materials, aligning with the EU Bioeconomy Strategy to reduce dependence on fossil resources.
At CIDPEX 2026 in Nanjing, the world’s largest exhibition for tissue and disposable hygiene products, Lenzing focused on increasing the global visibility of its VEOCEL™ branded fibers for absorbent hygiene and wipes applications. This was followed by Techtextil 2026 in Frankfurt and INDEX 2026 in Geneva, where interactive touch and feel stations allowed visitors to experience the performance and versatility of Lenzing’s cellulosic nonwoven solutions. These demonstrations highlighted the material benefits of LNT in an application-oriented context, generating strong industry interest.
A key highlight was the recognition of LENZING™ DualWipe with the prestigious INDEX™ Award in the Nonwovens Roll Goods category at the INDEX fair. The innovative wipe integrates two functional surfaces: an abrasive side for effective dirt removal and a soft, absorbent side for wiping and finishing. Importantly, DualWipe contains no synthetic fibers, binders, or finishing chemicals, eliminating the risk of microplastic shedding associated with conventional synthetic wipes. Patricia Sargeant, Executive Vice President Commercial Nonwovens at Lenzing Group, stated, ‘We would like to thank EDANA and the independent INDEX Award jury for recognizing LENZING™ DualWipe with the INDEX™ 26 Award. This underlines the relevance of cellulose based, fossil free technologies for the future of the nonwovens industry.’
Lenzing’s nonwovens solutions are aligned with the EU Bioeconomy Strategy, which emphasizes bio-based materials to reduce fossil resource dependence and strengthen sustainable industrial value chains. The company translates these strategic ambitions into industrial-scale solutions available for hygiene, wipes, and technical nonwovens. By combining renewable raw materials with advanced fiber and web technologies, Lenzing supports customers in meeting increasing regulatory, brand, and consumer expectations for sustainability.
Across all fairs, Lenzing demonstrated how its fibers and technologies add value to diverse end applications, with a particular focus on absorbent hygiene products and advanced nonwoven solutions. The company positions itself as an innovation and solution provider through fiber innovation, application expertise, and close collaboration along the value chain.
