neweFibre: Hygiene-Grade, wool fibre
The world's first hygiene-grade wool fibre designed to meet the highest quality hygiene product regulations.
WHY WOOL?
Before the industrial revolution, wool played a key role in historical hygiene solutions, such as cloth diapers, menstrual garments, and even early forms of tampons.
Did you know?
SCALABLE AND SUSTAINABLE SUPPLY CHAIN
New Zealand produces more than 100,000 tonnes of wool annually and with an existing global supply chain, wool presents a vast opportunity for innovation in high performance, biodegradable textiles.
SAFETY FIRST
Certified to OEKO-TEX 100 Standard for Category 1 products and PFAS-free to ensure safety
BIODEGRADABLE & PLASTIC-FREE
Wool is naturally biodegradable in soil enriching it with nutrients to support plant growth.
SEAMLESS INTEGRATION
neweFibre integrates smoothly with existing nonwoven manufacturing processes, maintaining output and efficiency while requiring minimal clean-down between production runs.
CONVERTER COMPATIBILITY
Non-wovens made from neweFibre, like neweFlex ADL, have proven to integrate effortlessly with diaper, sanitary and incontinence converters
neweFibre's intricate fibre morphology offers exceptional comfort and functionality
-
Inner Cortex: Provides strength, elasticity, and moisture absorption, holding up to 30% of its weight in moisture without feeling damp, ensuring dry, comfortable wear.
-
Outer Cuticle: Microscopic overlapping scales trap air for insulation, enhancing durability and performance. They also trap odour molecules
-
Chemical structure of wool interacts with volatile organic compounds (VOCs), forming hydrogen bonds to neutralize odours.
-
Natural crimp traps air, improving temperature regulation by reducing heat transfer
