Weekly Recap: A New Day for Hygiene, Glatfelter Reports Q2 Results & More

Here’s your weekly recap—the most viewed news stories on our site for the week ended Aug. 6, 2022.

In an online exclusive, A New Day for Hygiene, editor Karen McIntyre takes a look at the latest moves in the reusable hygiene market, including Essity’s acquisitions of Modibodi and Knix, and the expansion of products in this growing market.

Our second most widely-read story this week was the announcement of Glatfelter’s second quarter results. The nonwovens manufacturer reported mixed reults in the quarter, with the company’s Airlaid Materials’ net sales increasing $40.4 million in the year-over-year comparison, while its Spunlace segment faced substantially higher than expected inflationary challenges during the quarter and its price increases were insufficient to offset the impact.
