Demand for Lutradur ECO has been growing so steadily that Freudenberg Nonwovens will restart an idled spunbond line to increase production of the recycled fiber by the end of the year. The move will result in creation of 16 new jobs at the Durham plant. "Freudenberg is the only company in the world producing a 100 percent spunbond PCR commercial material. The technical expertise and resources that our people have invested in this material and in this manufacturing process are world-class," McNabb said. "We are working with our customers and suppliers to maximize the use of recycled plastic bottles to manufacture this global product and, in the process, helping our customers obtain more LEEDS credits than competitor materials with lower recycled content."
Freudenberg Nonwovens will showcase Lutradur ECO and other nonwoven technology innovations at the Greenbuild 2010 Conference in Chicago, Nov. 17-19.
