🔍Panel Discussion Recap: OUTLOOK™ 2024 The panel, moderated by Bernhard Awolin, Business Consultant at Lenzing / Bernhard Awolin Consulting, addressed the duality of wet wipes amid growing environmental concerns. 💡Key takeaways included: - The wipes market is tough, struggling to have the ‘sensible’ discussion with key stakeholders. - Regulatory Pressures: Increased scrutiny from NGOs and legislators highlights the urgency for compliance with sustainability regulations. The wipes industry is moving towards plastic-free wipes, but knowing this isn’t the ultimate solution. - Innovative Solutions: There’s a strong emphasis on developing biodegradable and recyclable products to meet environmental standards while satisfying consumer needs. However, we also need to engage even more with retailers and consumers to strive for clear and consistent labeling. #OUTLOOK #OUTLOOK2024 #OutlookNonwovens #Nonwovens #Sustainability #AHPs #Hygiene #PersonalCareProducts #EnvironmentalRegulations #InnovativeSolutions
