Lenzing Group Showcases Scalable Bio-Based Nonwovens and Wins INDEX™ Award

From CIDPEX in China to Techtextil in Frankfurt and INDEX in Geneva, the Lenzing Group showcased ready-for-market, bio-based nonwoven solutions and received industry recognition for LENZING™ Nonwoven Technology. The company, a leading global producer of regenerated cellulose fibers, strengthened its nonwovens positioning during a series of major international industry fairs in the first half of 2026.

At CIDPEX 2026 in Nanjing, China, the world's largest exhibition for tissue and disposable hygiene products, Lenzing enhanced its regional presence and increased global visibility of VEOCEL™ branded fibers for absorbent hygiene and wipes applications. At Techtextil 2026 in Frankfurt and INDEX 2026 in Geneva, the company engaged with European and international customers through interactive touch and feel stations that demonstrated the performance and versatility of LENZING™ Nonwoven Technology.

A central highlight was the recognition of LENZING™ DualWipe with the prestigious INDEX™ Award in the Nonwovens Roll Goods category at INDEX 2026. This innovative wipe integrates two functional surfaces: an abrasive side for effective removal of dirt and residues, and a soft, highly absorbent side for wiping and finishing. It contains no synthetic fibers, binders, or finishing chemicals, eliminating the risk of microplastic shedding. 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™ Nonwoven Technology provides a scalable, high-performance alternative to fossil-based materials by combining renewable raw materials and advanced fiber and web technologies. Lenzing's solutions align with the EU Bioeconomy Strategy, which emphasizes bio-based materials to reduce dependence on fossil resources. The company translates these strategic ambitions into industrial-scale solutions for hygiene, wipes, and technical nonwovens.

Across all fairs, Lenzing demonstrated how its fibers and technologies add value to end applications, particularly absorbent hygiene products and advanced nonwoven solutions. By combining fiber innovation, application expertise, and close collaboration along the value chain, Lenzing positions itself as an innovation and solution provider to the global nonwovens industry.
