Companies can nominate either a nonwoven or nonwoven-based product, or a material, component or service for personal care and hygiene, which has been developed, designed, manufactured and/or is on sale in Asia Pacific, including Northern and South Eastern Asia, Australia, New Zealand and the Indian subcontinent.

New award

EDANA announced the launch of a new award for the nonwovens industry, specifically aimed at the Asia Pacific region, earlier this year. “EDANA is keen to provide companies located in, or manufacturing products for the Asia Pacific markets, giving those leading companies a platform to showcase their innovative products or services,” said Abby Bailey, Marketing and Communications Director, EDANA.

During the conference, shortlisted companies will be given time to present to the delegates, with the winner announced on the second day, organisers report. The next edition of the conference will take place from 2-3 March in Singapore.

Conference highlights

“Outlook Asia, now in its third edition, has already been established as a must-attend event for innovative companies based or with an interest in Asia Pacific, and is recognised as an opportunity for businesses across Asia, and the Indian subcontinent, to connect with companies within the nonwovens and related industries across the region. With the Innovation Award, we aim to showcase the opportunities for the industry being cultivated from across Asia,” said Pierre Wiertz, General Manager of EDANA.

The programme will cover current and future product trends, consumption and purchasing trends, economic outlooks, market data, information about material and product technology developments, regulatory affairs and sustainability issues.

Additionally, the conference offers delegates networking opportunities with participants from across the global personal care products supply chain, ideal facilities for additional business meetings and top level speakers, presenting topics tailored to the needs of executives from the industry.
