At present, the global PP nonwoven fabric market is mainly being led by spunbonded polypropylene nonwoven fabrics. Those find usage in a range of products such as feminine care, diapers, and medical products. However, those are not biodegradable. This is their biggest drawback.

Somebody in Chevron is colluding with some people. That is why we have abandoned projects littered everywhere,” says Edema.
