As one of the world’s leading nonwovens producers of hygiene products, KNH continues to focus on the reduction of plastic materials through the development of eco-friendly products. With the use of bio-based and fully recyclable, nonwovens in the feminine hygiene products and wet wipes, KNH is are offering customers an n option of being comfortable and eco-friendly.
The result of these efforts is the development of biodegradable sanitary pads, panty liners and tampons. Apart from 100% cotton ones existing for a long time in the market, KNH has recently introduced Bamboo sanitary products made from recyclable and eco-friendly materials this year.
For bamboo sanitary pads, skin-friendly spunlace fabric is used as its topsheet. Bamboo fiber itself has countless micropores with rapid absorption and good breathability. Further, bamboo is the fastest growing plant in the world, which can grow up to 30 meters just in eight weeks, thus being easier to meet demand.
Through the ECF process, KNH has taken this fluff pulp, together with biodegradable and compostable breathable bottom sheet, to create a new generation feminine hygiene products of ultrathin and compact design, which can absorb the period blood rapidly, giving a long-lasting freshness to the skin and inhibit the growth of bacteria. In addition, the physical performance of back leakage and absorption rate has been rated above the national standards. Now, for a sustainable society, KNH is using recyclable packing materials for its new generation products to minimize its carbon footprint.
KNH currently operates plants in Taipei, Taiwan, and Shanghai, Chengdu and Yangzhou, China.
In Taiwan, KNH has invested in production lines of HEPA and microfiber spunbond, which will allow it to begin manufacturing durable goods and high end consumables such as artificial leather, furnishing fabrics, cleaning wipes and the medical market.
Being Taiwan’s first meltblown supplier, KNH has been involved in this market for more than 20 years. In addition to its core products in the category of hygiene, KNH is focused on more high-end, value-added nonwovens.
Meanwhile, in China, KNH completed work on a third site in Yangzhou, which began operation in the fourth quarter of 2021 and provides better supply chain integration and a closer customer relationship. A big part of these efforts focus on sustainability and working to keep up with global regulations for disposable products.
