Abstract: A cellulose-based filter media (10) is disclosed having a first phase (14) and a second phase (16), wherein the first phase (14) includes refined cellulose fibers, and wherein the second phase (16) includes cellulose fibers along with at least one of cellulose-based man-made fibers or non-cellulose man-made fibers. A facial mask (18) having the filter media (10) and a process for making the filter media (10) are also disclosed. Due to the composition of the filter media (10), the filter media (10) and/or facial mask (18) incorporating the same are at least partially biodegradable, compostable, and/or recyclable and can be formed from a wet laid process.

Abstract: A heat-resistant nonwoven melt-bonded web, in particular by spun bonding, comprising at least: —a first layer comprising first fibers —a second layer comprising second fibers in which at least one of the first fibers of the first layer (1) or the second fibers of the second layer (2) comprise a polylactic acid stereocomplex representing at least 20% by volume relative to the total volume of the constituents of the first or second fibers.

Abstract: This invention relates a compostable lid for sealing a beverage capsule or a beverage pad wherein the lid comprises a natural-fiber based support obtainable by: (i) providing a first fibrous base sheet comprising natural fiber material sensitive to a gelatinizing agent; (ii) treating the first base sheet with a gelatinizing agent to give a treated first fibrous base sheet comprising gelatinized material; (iii) providing a second fibrous base sheet; (iv) contacting the treated first fibrous base sheet and the second base sheet with each other; (v) causing at least partial migration of the gelatinized material from the treated first fibrous base sheet into the second fibrous base sheet to give a multilayer product; and (vi) neutralizing and/or washing the product thus obtained and then drying it.

Abstract: A compostable lid for sealing a capsule containing coffee in particular, consisting of a multilayer article comprising at least: a non-woven, the fibers of which contain at least 50% by weight of biodegradable fibers, a support consisting of a vegetable parchment, at least one oxygen barrier layer.

Abstract: Nonwoven substrate for joint tape containing vegetable fibers from softwood or hardwood pulp, possibly with synthetic fibers and/or possibly glass fibers, characterized in that it also contains flax fibers obtained by retting. Joint tape including the substrate.
