Overview
Biodegradable non woven fabric is a sustainable, eco-friendly material designed for disposable applications where both environmental responsibility and reliable performance are required. Made from cellulose-based fibers such as viscose, wood pulp, or PLA, it provides an alternative to conventional polypropylene (PP) non woven fabric.
This fabric is widely used in medical, hygiene, personal care, and flushable products, making it ideal for B2B buyers seeking sustainable solutions that meet global environmental standards.
Material Composition & Fabric Technology
Our biodegradable non woven fabric can be customized for different applications:
-
100% Viscose (Rayon) – Soft, breathable, fully biodegradable
-
Viscose/Wood Pulp Blend – High absorbency, cost-efficient, widely used in wipes
-
Viscose/PLA Blend – Bio-based, compostable, improved strength
-
PLA Non Woven Fabric – Bio-based polymer, suitable for medical disposables
-
Flushable Biodegradable Spunlace – Water-dispersible, ideal for flushable wipes and wet toilet paper
Fabric Technology:
-
Spunlace (hydroentangled), binder-free
-
Soft hand feel, high strength, uniform structure
