What İs Airlaid?
Airlaid is a common term in the paper industry, especially in hospitality settings. It was first invented in Denmark by Karl Krøyer in the 1960s. After being sold to a company called M&J Fibertech, it began mass production in the early 1980s. It is a textile-like material that is made from natural wood fibers and compressed into its final shape with air, equal to linen fabric. Where traditional napkins use water in the production process, airlaid napkins offer a more environmentally friendly solution that uses minimal energy as water does not need to be evaporated. The result is stronger, bulkier, softer, and more porous than standard tissue, even when wet. Airlaid paper napkins are considered to be more sustainable than traditional linen napkins.
Switching to Airlaid means you get the same superior quality as your linen alternative, but with a better carbon footprint and more convenience as you don’t have to worry about washing laundry at the end of every service.
