“If the risk of eternally being labelled and classified alongside textiles did not have far-reaching and expensive consequences in the way customs in many countries – protectionists by tradition – are taxing nonwovens and ruling their origin profile, our industry could probably live with that image. However, presenting the most realistic and true image of our industry – and therefore distancing ourselves from others – can only reinforce the efforts of many of our member companies to be recognised as sustainable and progressive businesses.”
