The three standout products competing for the award are Cookware Care's Seasoning Wipes, Dude Products' DUDE Odor Destroyer XL Flushable Deodorant Wipes, and Magnera's Sontara EC Green Cotton.
INDA has named Cookware Care, Dude Products Inc, and Magnera as finalists for the 2025 World of Wipes Innovation Award for their eco-friendly wipe innovations. Finalists include Seasoning Wipes, DUDE Odor Destroyer XL Flushable Wipes, and Sontara EC Green Cotton. The winner will be announced at the WOW Conference, July 24, 2025 in Columbus, Ohio.
The companies will showcase their products at the World of Wipes (WOW) International Conference, July 21-24, at the Hilton Columbus Downtown in Columbus, Ohio. The winner will be announced during the closing session on July 24.
Presented annually, the World of Wipes Innovation Award recognizes breakthroughs in nonwoven product design and application. It celebrates innovation across the entire wipes supply chain, highlighting advancements in raw materials, fibers, technology, and functionality that enhance the utility and sustainability of nonwovens.
The 2025 Award finalists are: Seasoning Wipes offer a simple, convenient, mess-free solution for maintaining cast iron and carbon steel cookware. Made from 100 percent viscose and infused through a proprietary process using a combination of non-petrochemical oils and beeswax, the formula contains no water, emulsifiers, or synthetic additives. The wipes streamline and simplify traditional maintenance with a cleaner, more consistent solution. Seasoning Wipes sets a new standard for cookware maintenance while expanding the possibilities of nonwovens beyond traditional applications.
DUDE Odor Destroyer XL Flushable Deodorant Wipes utilize powerful, long-lasting technology to capture and eliminate the compounds that cause body odor (including fecal odor), rather than just masking them. These wipes are proven to neutralize odor instantly and reduce it for up to 24 hours on skin, fabric, and in the air. Made with plant-based fibers, aloe vera, and vitamin E, the hypoallergenic wipes, infused with a sea mineral scent, redefine personal hygiene and modern cleanliness.
Sontara EC Green Cotton wipes advance sustainable precision cleaning with natural pure performance. Made from a proprietary blend of 100 percent naturally derived, biodegradable fibers—including pure unbleached TruCotton and sustainably sourced wood pulp—these innovative nonwoven wipes deliver superior absorbency, low lint, and a visibly natural aesthetic, perfect for industrial and critical cleaning environments demanding both technical excellence and environmental responsibility.
INDA's Technical Advisory Board selected the finalists for their creativity, distinctiveness, and technical excellence in advancing nonwoven applications across the value chain, including innovations in raw materials, roll goods, converting, packaging, active ingredients, binders, additives, and end-use performance.
Last year's winner was Rockline Industries' Facial Care Wipe with Glycine Amino Acid Complex, notable for its innovative use of multifunctional glycine ingredients that deliver skin benefits and enhance preservation for nonwovens, marking a significant advancement in skin care wipes.

INDA & EDANA approve formation of Global Nonwoven Alliance
The Boards of Directors of INDA and EDANA have officially approved the formation of the Global Nonwoven Alliance (GNA) and have concurrently agreed to become its founding members. Both Boards have also approved a motion authorizing each organization to appoint six representatives from each founding organization – current chair and 5 additional representatives. INDA and EDANA have officially formed the Global Nonwoven Alliance (GNA), each appointing six board members. GNA, a US-based non-profit, will unify global efforts to boost innovation, efficiency, and growth in the nonwovens industry. Both groups remain independent but will align leadership and programmes to address global challenges collaboratively. This move marks a major milestone in the collaborative vision outlined in the organizations' jointly signed Letter of Intent from September 2024. The Board votes follow extensive planning and consultation and includes the recommendation to formally establish GNA as a non-profit association under the laws of the United States. By aligning strategic resources and deepening collaboration, the GNA will provide a unified and coordinated approach to the key opportunities and challenges facing the global nonwovens industry. The Alliance is designed to accelerate innovation, improve operational efficiency, expand international reach, and foster long-term industry growth—all while strengthening the services and support delivered to members at both regional and global levels. Under the GNA framework, INDA and EDANA will continue to operate as independent legal entities, maintaining their regional focus and advocacy efforts. As founding members, however, both organizations will participate in aligning leadership, staffing, and programmatic initiatives to advance shared objectives and cross-border priorities. In the immediate term, INDA and EDANA will focus on laying a strong foundation for GNA, including establishing the organization and solidifying its governance structure. Looking ahead, Allied Membership is expected to be open to any not-for- profit trade, industry, or professional association whose mission aligns with that of the founding members—offering an inclusive platform for broader collaboration across the global nonwovens value chain. 'The formation of GNA is a milestone for our industry. By working together across regions, we can accelerate innovation, speak with a stronger voice globally, and deliver even greater value to our members,' said Tony Fragnito, President of INDA. 'This is not a merger—it's a strategic alliance built on mutual respect and a shared commitment to the future of nonwovens.' 'With the creation of GNA, we are positioning the nonwovens industry to meet global challenges with greater unity and impact,' said Murat Dogru, General Manager of EDANA. 'This collaborative structure allows us to scale our efforts, strengthen our influence, and pursue solutions that benefit our members worldwide.' GNA will be governed by a Board composed of six members from each founding organization –five appointed representatives plus the current Chair–, ensuring balanced representation and a regional perspective. This governance structure will promote transparency, long-term strategic alignment, and organizational stability while guiding shared policies, priorities, and programs.
