A Promising Future The airlaid nonwovens industry today is a healthy, profitable business with 460,000 metric tons of installed capacity worldwide. Based on low price, environmentally sustainable wood pulp, and a low energy, low water usage, low carbon footprint process, and with supply/demand in balance, future business prospects for airlaid future are excellent.
R&D Focus We believe that product development is the key element in remaining at the forefront position on an airlaid market requiring constant creation of new categories within airlaid products. Exploring new applications is a necessity - and one of our most fascinating challenges.
We continue to focus on new product development to meet the needs of downstream customers. This requires an open mind to new solutions and innovative angels, true technical power, stable product quality systems and proper production scale.
New Raw Materials In recent years, alternative raw materials have turned up on the market as a consequence of the environmental considerations needed to keep a "green" profile. Using normal waste products to create value and reduce import contributes to saving the environment by avoiding pollution - e.g. through the burning of rice straw. With few or no changes Dan-Web's production lines can be adjusted to handle new raw materials such as:
- rice straw remains
- waste from wood/leaves
- waste from oranges
- corn straw
- cotton waste
- coconut waste
- kenaf (elephant straw)
- bamboo
- tea leaves (water and smell absorbent)
- leather remains/waste
- train tickets
- newspapers
Our unique testing facilities are open for innovative niche markets, and we have contract time available for product development as well as for commercial production of minor quantities.
