Lenzing Group, a leading global producer of wood-based specialty fibers, announced the signing of a strategic partnership between its flagship specialty nonwovens brand, VEOCEL™, and Hangzhou Nbond Nonwovens Co., Ltd. (NBond) to accelerate the development and application of wood-based VEOCEL™ branded lyocell fibers in flushable nonwovens products, from moist toilet tissues to feminine hygiene products and other personal hygiene product offerings.
NBond, one of the earliest manufacturers to launch flushable feminine care products globally, is also the first to use VEOCEL™ branded lyocell shortcut fibers in flushable feminine care products.
