Finland's Suominen launches carbon neutral nonwoven Biolace Zero

Biolace Zero utilises Veocel Lyocell fibers from Suominen´s long-term partner Lenzing. Biolace Zero is made of 100 per cent carbon neutral Veocel Lyocell fibers. Suominen’s Biolace Zero and Lenzing’s Veocel Lyocell fibers are certified as carbon neutral products by globally recognised company, ClimatePartner. Carbon neutrality means that the greenhouse gas emissions of nonwoven have been calculated – from the raw material production to the client’s production facility – reduced and are offset through certified carbon offset projects, the company said in a press release.

“We are very excited to introduce Biolace Zero, which is not just Suominen’s first carbon neutral product, but also one of the first carbon neutral nonwovens on the market. Biolace Zero will be available as part of Suominen’s sustainable product portfolio,” Marika Mäkilä, senior manager, category management, Europe, said in a statement.

“With this new carbon neutral product Biolace Zero we are able to support our customers in their greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets. Innovating new products in collaboration with partners such as Lenzing by using carbon neutral Veocel Lyocell fibers is well aligned with our strategy and vision to be the frontrunner in sustainable nonwovens,” Noora Rantanen, manager, sustainability and marketing, said.
