ANDRITZ Nonwoven & Textile sustainable solutions

Discover the growing arsenal of technologies for a nonwovens production towards more sustainability

Everyone knows that a shift towards greater sustainability is a key challenge of the 21st century. We at ANDRITZ Nonwoven & Textile, as part of the ANDRITZ Group, are forerunners when it comes to technologies, processes and services that help our customers achieve their sustainability goals and reduce their carbon footprint. We are proud for every further successful step in this direction with our customers and partners.

Taking the challenge, taking responsibility: Our four pillars for more sustainability

1. Sustainable Raw Materials & Fibers

Enabling the use of natural, recycled, and bio‑based fibers (e.g., bast fibers, cellulosic pulp) across nonwovens and textiles.

2. Circularity Through Textile Sorting & Recycling

Driving the circular economy with technologies for automated textile sorting, fiber preparation, and mechanical/chemical recycling, closing material loops in textile production.

3. Sustainable Product & Process Innovations

Developing eco‑friendly technologies such as Dry Molded Fiber, biodegradable/flushable sustainable wipes, and bio‑based hygiene products, all designed to reduce environmental impact.

4. Resource Efficiency & Digitalization

Improving efficiency across production through Metris digital solutions, enabling reduced waste, lower energy use, and smarter, resource‑efficient operations.
