What is VEOCEL™, the cellulosic fiber used in Popotine diapers? How is it manufactured?

VEOCEL™ fibers are wood-based, derived from renewable wood sources through a pulping process and finally made into fibers. VEOCEL™ fibers bring the inherent advantages of cellulose to personal care and hygiene products: natural absorbency, liquid distribution, biodegradability and versatility. It is a trademark of the Lenzing Group, located in Austria.

The raw material for the fibers is derived from wood sources grown in responsibly managed forests*.

VEOCEL™ branded fibers are manufactured with high production standards and with low emissions to air and water, thereby safeguarding resources for future generations.

In our Popotine diapers, you will find two kinds of cellulosic fibers, from different manufacturing processes: VEOCEL™ Viscose and VEOCEL™ Lyocell.

VEOCEL™ Lyocell fibers are cellulosic fibers derived from responsibly managed forests. These VEOCEL™ Lyocell fibers are gentle on skin and naturally smooth, providing comfort for skin. What is more, wood-based fibers are naturally smooth, absorbent and provide a gentle touch to intimate care products.

Originating from wood, VEOCEL™ Viscose naturally attract and absorb water, which contributes to effective and efficient liquid absorption in nonwoven products.
VEOCEL™ Viscose fibers produced with Care technology offer responsibly produced viscose fibers with low environmental impact due to reduced carbon emissions and water usage (calculated using Higg Materials Sustainability Index**).

VEOCEL™ is a trademark of Lenzing AG.
