CJ Biomaterials, Yuhan-Kimberly launch reusable, plant-based paper towel
Now available in South Korea, the Kleenex® Biodegradable Reusable Dishtowel features CJ’s proprietary PHACT™ A1000P. The material is derived from sustainably grown, plant-based raw materials including sugarcane. Yuhan-Kimberly combined the PHACT™ A1000P with other plant-derived materials, including cellulose and polylactic acid (PLA) to create a spunbound nonwoven, with production handled by Eugene Hanil Synthetic Fiber.
The new paper towels can be washed and used multiple times before disposal and are often used in homes and restaurants throughout Korea. “This new product delivers improved hygiene and convenience while also representing meaningful progress for the environment,” said KueYoung You, Head of Innovation Center, Yuhan-Kimberly.
