New Orleans conference draws 100+ technical experts
RISE conference draws technical leaders to New Orleans
Industry experts, scientists and R&D specialists spoke on leading-edge topics with the potential to change the future of nonwovens and engineered fabrics.
Alexander Koukoulas kicked off the conference with his presentation, Wetlaid Forming: Where Do We Go From Here. He said wetlaid provides an opportunity for nonwovens to use more sustainable materials and support the adoption of renewable resources.
The RISE Durable Product Award was presented to Suominen for Fibrella Lite, a nonwoven product for absorbent hygiene products. RISE attendees selected Fibrella Lite over finalists Groz-Beckert’s Gebecon Needle and ITW Dynatec’s Ultra SCS.
Topics that got attendees thinking differently included: rebuilding fibers and fabrics using revolutionary self-healing bio-formation structures; making lighter weight, economic and sustainable nonwovens from eucalyptus and milkweed materials; and recycling carbon fibers in the auto industry, among others.
