(Adnkronos) - CALGARY, AB, May 16, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Roswell Textiles provides update on the carbon emission reduction potential of its flagship plant based nonwoven materials known as ECOFUSE™.
Roswell Textiles announces that its proprietary biopolymer nonwoven materials, sold under the brand name of ECOFUSE™, are
3,750 MT CO2 is a significant amount of carbon emissions. Here are some examples to help visualize how much CO2 that is:
With increased adoption as ECOFUSE™ materials become more widely utilized in technical and product applications, the average GHG emission reduction achieved on an annual basis could exceed 10,000 MT CO2. 10,000 MT CO2 is approximately:
ECOFUSE™ materials are being used by Roswell Textile's strategic partners and clients to decrease the carbon footprint of their products (generally speaking, the raw materials used to manufacture ECOFUSE™ have a 70% smaller carbon footprint than the conventional synthetic polymer materials made in the United States). The ECOFUSE™ materials are already commercial in medical filtration (510(k) approved face masks, respirators, etc.), water filtration (industrial water processing filters) and residential filtration applications (first HVAC filters made with plant-based materials) with additional commercialization processes underway for the use of ECOFUSE™ materials in hygiene, food and beverage packaging as well as in construction materials. ECOFUSE™ materials, once fully adopted and commercial, will be displacing conventional synthetic polypropylene plastics in medical gowns, drapes, wraps, bed sheets, pillows, dressings, wipes, coffee filtration, teabags, absorbent pads, insulation bags, packaging, home wrap, plastic wrap/packaging, HVAC filters, ventilators, fluid filtration, geotextiles, grain bags, silage wraps, seeding bags, and car filters.
Roswell Textiles, as a result of engineering and manufacturing their own production machinery in-house, utilizes proprietary production technologies that allow for the technical processing of biopolymers to achieve the high-performance requirements in nonwoven materials that have previously been impossible to achieve at commercial scale.
ECOFUSE™ materials are being used to increase OEM's accomplishment of net zero carbon emissions in their product lines, as well as helping companies and industries reduce their carbon emissions to be in compliance with federally and internationally mandated carbon reduction policies. ECOFUSE™ meltblown materials, currently in commercial use in regulated and highly technical applications, are certified to be 100% biobased by the United States Department of Agriculture BioPreferred Program. ECOFUSE™ materials are eligible to create carbon offsets and directly align with The Paris Agreement, COP26 Initiatives, WHO, the Canadian Governments 2030 Emissions Reduction Plan, US federal executive orders and legislation (the Federal Buy Clean Initiative, Inflation Reduction Act, Building a Clean Energy Economy, and sustainable procurement initiatives).
