SÃO PAULO – Suzano, the world’s largest hardwood pulp producer, will showcase Eucafluff, its highly sustainable eucalyptus-based fluff pulp, at this year’s INDEX nonwovens show in Geneva from April 19-21.

Eucafluff is made from sustainably managed eucalyptus farms in São Paulo and is the result of nearly 15 years of R&D.

Its absorbent panels provides a mor flexible and more discreet product for consumers and it is said to outperform competitors in terms of rewetting, net retention and comfort performance due to the morphology of the eucalyptus hardwood which is smaller and thinner than other products, as well as being highly compressible.

The result of this performance results in significant cost savings, with an 18% reduction of packaging material and 13% reduction in storage and volume. Furthermore, Eucafluff provides a far more sustainable solution with a smaller carbon footprint and a lower impact on land use, using far less wood to produce the same amount of fluff.

Eucafluff has grown dramatically in recent years, increasing its application and sales across a range of segments. Suzano will continue to pursue an ambitious growth strategy for it, as it accelerates an ongoing roll-out to the baby diaper segment, while also targeting the rapidly expanding adult diaper market.
