The most-viewed news in April on Nonwovens-Industry.com was about Sumo, a new durable fitted cloth baby diaper made from a waterproof cover containing a sewn pocket and washable absorbent pads. The fully biodegradable and reusable diaper system is scheduled for launch in May. The Sumo diaper system—and the Ufo removable superabsorbent inlay—rely on plant-based fibers which the founders say outperform polyester and cotton—the main material in most reusable diaper systems. The core was constructed using a combination of needlepunch and thermal bonded processes.
