Bemliese is 100% biodegradable

Asahi Kasei’s Bemliese is a regenerated cellulosic continuous-filament nonwoven fabric made from cotton linter. It features very low lint generation, superior liquid absorbency, thermal stability and high purity.

Although cotton linter is not normally used as fiber, Asahi Kasei developed a proprietary process to scientifically regenerate it into super pure, high functioning cellulose fiber. Bemliese is made from naturally derived material and is 100% biodegradable.

Manufactured in Nobeoka, Japan, Asahi Kasei uses power generated from its own hydroelectric and biomass power plants to minimize environmental impact and reduce end-of-life footprint.
Bemliese offers good functionality for skincare products, medical applications, sanitary products, teabags, and all other types of wet and dry wipes.
