'Airlaid's Rebirth' - NIRI feature in Nonwovens Industry article


NIRI's CEO, Dr. Matthew Tipper, comments on how NIRI is helping companies develop the next wave of sustainable products, using airlaid technology:

“With the EU Directive on single-use plastics, the nonwovens industry is focused on experimenting with processes that work towards increased sustainability”.
