Weston Manufacturing’s Innovation for Modern Businesses


The Evolution of Nonwoven Fabrics: Why Viscose Is Winning

In 2025, the global nonwoven fabric market is projected to reach $65 billion, driven by industries demanding eco-friendly, high-performance alternatives to outdated materials. Traditional polyester and cotton blends, once staples, now face scrutiny for their environmental toll and limited functionality. Enter OEKO-TEX® Certified 100% Viscose Material—a breakthrough engineered by Weston Manufacturing to redefine sustainability and efficiency.

Market Shifts



68% of businesses prioritize OEKO-TEX® certified products for compliance and brand reputation (2025 Textile Sustainability Report).

Polyester’s carbon footprint (5.3 kg CO₂/kg) dwarfs that of viscose nonwoven fabrics (1.2 kg CO₂/kg), as verified by the Carbon Trust (2024).

Weston’s Competitive Edge
By leveraging factory-direct production, Weston slashes costs by 25% while delivering wholesale pricing unmatched in the industry.
