EDANA announced the winners of EDANA’s INDEX 14 Awards which is the highest accolade for excellence in the industry and highlights some of the innovations from businesses of all sizes, and from all parts of the nonwovens supply chain.
 
INDEX 14, the largest global meeting place for the nonwovens supply chain and its customers, was launched, with a ceremony to showcase excellence in the nonwovens and related industries.
Winners for each section, together with summary comments from the judging panel were:
 
Nonwoven Roll Goods: Sandler’s Fibercomfort tread- and waterproof roof insulation
This product expands the market for nonwovens in the construction sector, effectively and efficiently replaces wood by enabling a single solution for roof insulation based only on nonwovens, and is a product which is lighter than alternatives and potentially recyclable
 
Finished products made from, or incorporating nonwovens: Imeco Nocemi MED wipes
A virucidal, bactericidal, alcohol free and disinfectant which offers a timely answer to help prevent Healthcare Associated Infections, and which will help reduce healthcare costs through more efficient cleaning of potentially contaminated areas.
 
Most original marketing campaign for a product made from, or incorporating nonwovens: Lenzing - TENCEL Skin promotion campaign
This is a highly aesthetic and artistic video which lends life to the fibre and connects it to people, and effectively conveys the main properties of the fibre.
 
Innovation in a raw material of special relevance to the nonwovens industry: Eastman Cyphrex microfibers
A useful way to provide custom microfiber blends, which enables a new level of flexibility in wetlaid nonwovens.
 
Innovation in machinery of special relevance to the nonwovens industry: ITW Dynatec - Vector Surge Applicator
This simple and compact piece of hardware enables the customised application of adhesives, while minimising waste.  Highly versatile, the device can be integrated into any line.
 
Sustainable Product: Ahlstrom Flow2Save filter media
An innovative filter media which saves energy (compared to conventional microglass media), and offers a low pressure drop at all efficiency levels, providing significant cost savings over the life time of the filter
 
Sustainable process or management practice: TJ Beall - True Cotton Greige Cotton Nonwoven for Wound Healing and Hygienic Product Applications
This is a paradigm change compared to cotton currently available for nonwovens, which efficiently exploits the natural properties of cotton fibre, and is an effective alternative to bleached cotton. A smart way to use ‘waste’ cotton.
