Walk into the absorbent hygiene section of your local pharmacy or grocery store and you’ll see our Engineered Absorbent Materials (EAM) airlaid products everywhere. “We produce absorbent cores for many hygiene products including diapers, adult incontinence products, sanitary napkins and bed pads used in hospitals and nursing homes,” says EAM facility manager Kim Sumner. EAM is poised for continued growth and success for many years to come thanks to an expansion project announced earlier this year that will add a large-scale airlaid nonwovens production line to the Jesup, Ga.–based facility. When complete in 2022, the expansion will make Domtar the second-largest airlaid supplier in the United States and third-largest in the world. Airlaid is a nonwoven material that falls between paper and textiles, according to Lori Venn, vice president of airlaid sales and marketing. Airlaid nonwoven products are widely used in today’s absorbent hygiene products because of their superior absorption properties.

This is a strong reason to ensure that the forests always grow more than they are used. 2. Improving biodiversity in our own forests - As a leader in the industry, UPM was the first forest company in the world to make a commitment to increasing the biodiversity of its own forests. 3. Ultimate goal of climate positive portfolio - The majority of airborne emissions that UPM mills produce are biomass-based from renewable sources. 4. Zero Solid Waste to landfill globally by 2030 - Most of UPM’s waste is reused in other processes such as energy generation.
