Roswell Textiles announced the commercial launch of ECOFUSE—plant-based, low-carbon, nonwoven materials that provide carbon offsets and replace synthetic nonwoven materials with more sustainable alternatives. ECOFUSE nonwoven materials are plant-based and made from biopolymers, having the exact technical specifications as synthetic polypropylene materials, but with a 65% net carbon reduction. 

ECOFUSE materials help companies and industries reduce carbon emissions by following federally and internationally mandated carbon reduction policies. ECOFUSE materials are already commercial in medical filtration, water filtration, and residential filtration applications, with construction materials and additional commercialization processes for hygiene, food, and beverage packaging underway. 

The United States Department of Agriculture BioPreferred Program has certified ECOFUSE melt-blown materials (which are in commercial use in regulated medical applications) to be 100% biobased.

Roswell Textiles, a wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary of PADM Group, specializes in biopolymer, nonwoven technologies, and materials. The company produces synthetic and plant-based, melt-blown, nonwoven fabric for regulated medical, food grade, industrial filtration, and consumer applications.
