Protecting people and our planet through continuous efforts
As a young but rapidly growing company, we understand and embrace the importance of innovation as an engine that drives growth. With a strong focus on sustainability, we keep the entire product life-cycle in mind when designing our products, right from the sourcing of our innovative ingredients to the product’s end-of-life scenarios.
In addition to testing and qualifying innovative ingredients in our labs at every stage of the development process and validating the results through various focus groups and consumer panel testing, we also collaborate with several leading research institutes, universities, and independent laboratories to ensure that we are leading change in the industry.
Our R&D center is our vision in reality, equipped with EIGHT departments.
Four departments are devoted exclusively to making our ingredients and products as sustainable as possible
• Fiber Technology
• Superabsorbent Biopolymers
• Bioplastics
• Nonwovens
Three departments focus primarily on responsible disposable methods and explore how Sparkle pads behave in different environmental conditions at the end of their life-cycle
Our engineering and product design department focuses on enhancing both our machine and product designs to turn our innovative concepts into reality
Fiber Technology
