W+D outlines adult-diaper manufacturing designs intended to reduce material use

Germany

W+D, part of BW Converting, described material-saving approaches for hygiene production in a September 25, 2025 technical feature. For adult diapers, it highlights a narrower chassis combined with added side ears, intended to reduce topsheet and backsheet use.

The company also discusses control of SAP and fluff dosing, lower sheet grammages and underpad core formation. These are manufacturing options rather than a named adult-diaper brand’s product launch.

The feature provides no detailed lifecycle comparison for a finished adult product. Its separate claim about eliminating ear-material waste concerns baby diapers and should not be applied to adult-diaper production.
