NatureLace™

Discover Futamura’s NatureLace™: a renewable, biodegradable nonwoven fabric ideal for cosmetic face masks, medical use and packaging materials for fragile surfaces. Soft, transparent, safe and sustainable.

What is NatureLace™?

NatureLace™ is Futamura’s innovative biodegradable nonwoven fabric, made from sustainable wood pulp using the world-first Ogaki Method – an advanced single-solvent process. NatureLace fibres are web-formed using a dry process and bonded through a spunlace method, using only high-pressure water to interlock the fibres. This unique technology creates a fabric that is renewable and certified biodegradable, making it a sustainable choice for the cosmetic and personal care sector as well as medical use and packaging materials for fragile surfaces.

Unlike conventional nonwoven fabrics, NatureLace™ is designed with both performance and environmental responsibility in mind. It fully biodegrades in soil and sea water, helping brands and consumers reduce their environmental footprint
