Omya’s September 1, 2025 K2025 announcement describes development of thinner hygiene films using Omyafilm. Its separate official application page includes backsheets for adult-incontinence products.
This is a supplier-development announcement, not confirmation that a named adult diaper has adopted the material. The release does not provide a quantified reduction with comparison conditions. Claims for unrelated automotive materials or Omyafiber applications should not be transferred to Omyafilm hygiene films.
RKW’s 2024 sustainability report describes thermally laminated film-and-nonwoven backsheets, including adult-incontinence applications, on page 7. It says the process avoids adhesive in that lamination step.
The report was announced on August 22, 2025. This introduces the dated report, rather than a new 2026 product. A later report’s publication does not establish that the older figures remain current specifications.
Ontex announced on June 17, 2025 that it was bringing the iD Discreet incontinence range to European healthcare partners, including pharmacies, medical-supply outlets and care facilities.
The announcement extends technology already used in retail products into healthcare channels. It is not evidence that the technology had never appeared before, or independent confirmation of the company’s performance claims.
