What are the upcoming trends in wiping materials?
In the wake of the COVID-19 and the growing public health philosophy, wiping products such as wet wipes and alcohol wipes are becoming widely recognized and used as a necessity in people's daily lives. Wiping materials can be found everywhere in everyday life and industrial production, from baby care to personal care, from wiping down household products to car interior cleaning, from cleaning mobile phones to dusting computer screens, and then to cleaning of machinery, equipment and precision instruments. As a key application area for nonwovens, wiping materials can be said to have great scope for future development.
I. Green Development System
Environmental protection is a priority and all industries are finally developing with a green orientation. As non-woven wiping materials currently on the market contain plastic substances such as PET and PP, coupled with the rising use of wipes, the industry is being challenged to make its products greener and more environmentally friendly. It is therefore imperative that the wiping material industry adheres to green development, improves resource utilization and produces environmentally friendly, 100% biodegradable wipes, which also requires the efforts of the whole industry. In recent years there have been companies that have researched a wipe made from 100% plant-based biodegradable and compostable materials. It is believed that in the near future this technology will reach the whole industry and wiping materials will see a positive trend in the future.
II. Innovative Development Models
As product life cycles become shorter and the pace of renewal and iteration accelerates in the digital age, a sustainable development of wiping materials can only be achieved through innovative development models and diversification.
III. Improve the Standard System and Establish a Safety System
Wiping materials with a cleaning effect which are widely used in mother and baby products require a higher safety factor for the ingredients. Therefore, it is necessary to raise the threshold of access to the industry, improve the standard system, and establish a safety system with high standards for the selection of raw materials and high safety design of products to reassure consumers.
Moving forward, the wiping materials industry should strengthen its own industrial base by seizing the strategic window of the global industry chain supply chain adjustment, enhance the stability, security and competitiveness of the industry chain supply chain, improve risk resistance, leverage on the advantages of the domestic market and integrate proactively into the global division of labor system to exploit its strengths and complement its weaknesses to achieve a win-win situation.
