At this year's IDEA 2013 Conference & Expo [4] in Miami, it was announced that nonwovens industry body INDA is joining forces with Sustainable Minds (SM) – the global leader in cloud-based life cycle assessment software. Sustainable Nonwovens editor, Adrian Wilson, caught up with SM’s CEO Terry Swack to find out how the company’s nonwovens solution is progressing and its industry sponsor relationship with INDA.

“The drive for more sustainable products is often ‘top down’ – from consumers, retailers and brands and onto manufacturers and their suppliers. While recognising the benefits, I think it’s fair to say that the additional activity and cost required for compliance is not always welcome by some at ground level. So any system that allows the job to get done more efficiently and affordably – while also serving as a springboard to new product design innovation – has to be a good thing.”
– Adrian Wilson, Editor, Sustainable Nonwovens
