The WRC has been at the forefront of research into wet wipes and their subsequent impact on water networks. Glatfelter is also expanding its already GD4 certified portfolio to offer a full range of customized dispersible wipes substrates.
“This project is an excellent example of Glatfelter’s dynamic innovation coupled with our deep commitment to develop eco-friendly solutions that will enhance everyday life for millions of people around the world,” Chris Astley, senior vice president, chief commercial officer at Glatfelter, said in a press release. “Glatfelter’s dispersible wipes substrates begin to disintegrate immediately when flushed and will not harm sewage systems or block pumps at water treatment stations. In addition to being fine to flush, the product is free of chemicals or binders and is 100 per cent biodegradable.”
In addition to the company’s dispersible wipes that are Fine to Flush, Glatfelter produces a full portfolio of substrates for everyday use ranging from personal and home, including baby wipes, moist toilet tissues, and household surface wipes, to industrial applications for cleaning and sanitising wipes.
