Sheboygan, Wis.-based Rockline Industries Inc.’s regenerated cotton wipe recently received the 2010
Visionary Award, presented at the Vision 2010 Consumer Products Conference organized by the
Association of the Nonwoven Fabrics Industry (INDA), Cary, N.C. The award recognizes innovative
consumer end products that incorporate nonwoven fabrics or use nonwoven technology during the
manufacturing process.
The wipe’s substrate comprises 100-percent biodegradable materials — a 75-percent
cotton/25-percent Lenzing Tencel® blend. The cotton comes from post-industrial waste generated by
T-shirt manufacturing, and is recovered using an energy- and water-efficient process. The wipe was
one of five finalists chosen from products nominated for the award.
