Sustainability
Less fiber. Same performance.
The most sustainable gram of fiber is the one a product never needed. Syntex designs each carded web to its specification, not past it.
Pillars
Four places we cut waste.
01
Material efficiency
Lighter carded webs that still meet the specification, so every product uses less fiber for the same job.
02
Reclaim at the line
Edge trim and start-up fiber returned to the blend where the recipe and the application allow.
03
Mono-material design
Single-fiber constructions where the end use permits, so a laminate is simpler to recycle.
04
Useful layers
The webs sit in filters, drainage fabrics, vehicle interiors, hygiene products, and medical carriers.
Purpose
Much of what we make protects air, water, and people.
Carded layers sit in filters, drainage fabrics, vehicle interiors, hygiene products, and medical carriers. Getting that substrate right is part of getting the finished product right.
Commitments
How we hold ourselves to it.
Specify lighter
When a program qualifies, we look for the lightest web that still holds every target, and we propose it.
Report what we measure
Basis weight and yield are recorded per run, so material use is a number, not a claim.
Design with the converter
Mono-material constructions only matter if the finished good can use them. We design them together.
Work with Syntex
Design a lighter web with us.
Tell us the end use and the layer. Our applications team replies with a proposed construction and a path to a sample.
