The absorbent hygiene and personal care markets attended INDA's 2nd annual HYGIENIX Conference, held from October 24 to 27, 2016, in Orlando, Fla, with over 525 leading professionals from around the globe and across the supply chain, to advance their business with the newest and latest developments in the growing and largest of the nonwovens segments.

The HYGIENIX conference featured some of the world's most notable thought leaders and innovators from organisations that are revolutionising the absorbent hygiene and personal care industry. They spoke on consumer needs, market statistics and trends, material and technology advancements, haptics for a competitive advantage, and disposable product end of life options. The keynote presentation from Bruce Lavash, research fellow, The Procter & Gamble Company, focusing on consumer research insights and adventures, was well received.

An event highlight included the presentation of INDA's prestigious Hygienix Innovation Award to Sustainable Health Enterprises, (SHE) for “Go! Pads”, a banana fibre-based, low-cost feminine pad that sustainably delivers affordable and much needed hygiene for women and girls in Rwanda.

Dave Rousse, INDA's president said, “This year's winner demonstrates the best-of-the-best for creatively expanding the use of nonwovens into a new application providing quality-of-life benefits for a group that greatly needs it. This combination of indigenous fibres and ingenuity is a great example of innovation in nonwovens making lives better.”

HYGIENIX also highlighted 54 tabletop displays representing the latest in products and processes from industry leaders and entrepreneurs. The displays were held in conjunction with two evening receptions attended by hundreds of professionals looking for new partnerships and collaborators.

The next HYGIENIX Conference will be held from November 6 to 9, 2017 at the Renaissance Austin Hotel in Austin, Texas US. (GK)
