Award‑Nominated LENZING™ DualWipe Supports Europe’s Shift to Bio‑Based
Materials

 

• LENZING™ DualWipe nominated for INDEX™26 Awards as a new
cellulose‑based, plastic‑free wipe innovation
• Brussels roundtable highlights the need for bio‑based materials in
Europe’s industrial transition

 

Lenzing, April 10, 2026 – The Lenzing Group, a leading global producer of
regenerated cellulose fibers for the textile and nonwovens industries,
introduces LENZING™ DualWipe, its latest plastic‑free wipe innovation and
a nominee for the prestigious INDEX™26 Awards in the “Nonwovens Roll
Goods” category. The nomination underlines Lenzing’s continued commitment
to developing scalable, cellulose‑based solutions for applications that
have traditionally relied on fossil‑based materials.

 

LENZING™ DualWipe, enabled by Lenzing’s Nonwovens Technology, integrates
two functional surfaces within a single material: an abrasive side for
effective removal of dirt and residues, and a soft, highly absorbent side
for wiping and finishing. DualWipe contains no synthetic fibers, binders
or finishing chemicals, the wipe eliminates the risk of plastic and
microplastic shedding typically associated with conventional synthetic
wipes. Its compatibility with standard converting processes supports broad
applicability across industrial, professional and household cleaning
segments. LENZING™ DualWipe thus stands as an example of Lenzing’s
ambition to link policy objectives for material transformation with
market‑ready, industrially applicable solutions.

 

This innovation directly addresses the material demands discussed during a
high‑level roundtable held in Brussels in early March, organized in
cooperation with Euractiv, where policymakers, industry representatives
and experts examined how bio‑based materials can enhance Europe’s economic
resilience and accelerate the shift toward lower‑carbon, fossil‑reduced
material systems. The conversations in Brussels highlighted the increasing
relevance of cellulose‑based innovations as practical enablers of a more
sustainable European materials landscape.

 

“Europe has set ambitious goals for industrial transformation. Our
dialogue in Brussels showed that bio‑based materials are becoming
increasingly scalable. At Lenzing, we combine policy engagement with
innovation to help enable this shift,” says Georg Kasperkovitz, Member of
the Management Board of the Lenzing Group.

 

The INDEX™26 nomination for DualWipe underlines how Lenzing translates
these policy discussions into concrete product innovation. “The Brussels
roundtable highlighted the relevance of cellulosic fibers in reducing
reliance on fossil-based materials. With innovations like LENZING™
DualWipe, we translate this into practice by offering a high-performance,
plastic-free wipe material designed to meet regulatory and consumer
expectations,” emphasizes Patricia A. Sargeant, Executive Vice President
Commercial Nonwovens at Lenzing Group.

 

By combining technological innovation with industrial capabilities and
active policy engagement, Lenzing continues to advance material solutions
that support Europe’s sustainability goals while offering better solutions
for its environment without compromise to consumers. LENZING™ DualWipe
represents a tangible example of how cellulose‑based technologies can
offer viable, market‑ready alternatives across the nonwovens sector.
