VEOCEL™'s Lyocell Fibers for Enhanced Cleaning Take Center Stage at World of Wipes 2025
LENZING, Austria, July 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- At the upcoming World of Wipes® (WOW) 2025 in Columbus, Ohio, Lenzing's flagship specialty nonwovens brand, VEOCEL™, will introduce VEOCEL™ Lyocell fibers for Enhanced Cleaning, a new innovation designed to support the next generation of high-performance surface cleaning and disinfecting wipes. Aligned with VEOCEL™' s innovation theme, "Unleash Possibilities", this breakthrough is designed to inspire Lenzing's partners to rethink product design through the use of advanced cellulosic fibers. Derived from wood-based [1] raw materials, they offer an alternative to fossil-based synthetics and contribute to the reduction of avoidable plastic [2] waste in wipe applications. Delivering Enhanced Cleaning Performance [3] VEOCEL™ Lyocell fibers for Enhanced Cleaning are engineered to improve wiping performance through stronger and denser fabrics and enhance the end-user experience. These fibers ensure even liquid distribution, helping to reduce excess dripping and provide greater control during cleaning. Compared to fossil-based alternatives, each wipe can clean up to twice the surface area, offering significantly improved disinfecting efficacy. A key factor contributing to the performance of these new VEOCEL™ fibers is their compatibility with active or functional ingredients commonly used in disinfectants such as quaternary ammonium compounds (quats). While many other cellulosic fibers require additional chemical treatments to achieve similar functionality, VEOCEL™ fibers for Enhanced Cleaning are designed through careful selection of raw materials and optimized production methods to exhibit minimal and consistent binding to active ingredients. This seemingly simple yet impactful advancement in fiber properties allows VEOCEL™'s cellulosic fibers to be used in applications previously dominated by plastic-based materials. In addition, these fibers provide excellent wet strength and form stability [4], maintaining structural integrity even at lower basis weights. Altogether, these characteristics make them exceptionally well-suited for demanding cleaning environments—from household and personal care to institutional and industrial settings. All VEOCEL™ Lyocell fibers are wood-based [5] and biodegradable [6], produced in a closed-loop, resource-efficient process with low emissions to air and water [7]. The Enhanced Cleaning variant maintains these high environmental standards while delivering superb technical performance. "With the introduction of our VEOCEL™ Lyocell fibers for Enhanced Cleaning, we are unleashing new possibilities for our customers to choose cellulosic fibers in disinfecting wipes, empowering excellent performance while advancing their commitment to environmental responsibility," said Patricia A. Sargeant, Executive Vice President Nonwovens at Lenzing AG. Discover More at WOW 2025 Lenzing will showcase VEOCEL™ Lyocell fibers for Enhanced Cleaning at WOW 2025, July 21–24, at Tabletop #405. Attendees can learn how this innovation supports hygiene, efficiency, and responsible material use. , Innovation Project Manager Nonwovens, presented the fiber's development, performance testing and real-world applications in an INDA-hosted pre-show webinar titled "Advanced Cellulosic Solution for Disinfection Wipes".

Families get involved in marking World Ocean Week
An Jersey environmental charity has kicked off its World Ocean Week (WOW) celebrations with a series of events aimed at connecting families with the ocean. Ocean Culture Life (OCL) said its collaboration with the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) in Jersey would feature interactive workshops, creative storytelling, and hands-on conservation activities. The events have taken place in Jersey for the past three years, with NASA astronaut Nicole Stott visiting the island in 2024 to talk about protecting the planet's waters. Co-founder of OCL Tamsin Raine said WOW 2025 got under way in St Ouen on Monday with "amazing energy". She said: "We have explored the shore line with the low tide discovery workshop and we have started brainstorming our mural ideas with Art House Jersey. "The kids are totally buzzing, full of questions, ideas and creativity, and that's really what this week is about, connecting people to the ocean in ways that are fun, meaningful and memorable. "I think it's these experiences that plant the seeds of long-term change." Speakers for the 2025 event include Zandile Ndhlovu, a South African ocean conservationist, and British conservation biologist, photographer and filmmaker, Kaush Subramaniam. Other activities being held in Jersey for WOW include a local art exhibition, sensory workshops, a community paddle out, and a display of local marine life. OCL said hundreds of young people would participate in its ocean conservation school workshops as part of the project. The experience ends with the celebration of World Ocean Day on 8 June.
