U.K.-based technical fabric manufacturer Nonwovenn has named Prabhat Mishra as sustainability director.

With more than 20 years of diverse experience across FMCG, Food, Petrochemicals, Pharmaceuticals, Packaging innovation, Sustainability, ESG and CSR, Prabhat drives the next level sustainability agenda internally at Nonwovenn, whilst collaborating externally to support the circular economy.

Prabhat is well-known in the sustainability arena. He is a Fellow of IOM3, Chartered Scientist, Master of Plastics Engineering & Management, alongside participating in iconic industry events as a keynote speaker etc., globally, he joins Nonwovenn from Johnson & Johnson in France where he worked as Global Sustainability director.

On his appointment, Prabhat comments: “I am delighted to join Nonwovenn. Sustainability is frequently positioned at the top of board agendas, but rarely on the board. To be exclusively responsible for sustainability and seated on the main board, demonstrates how committed Nonwovenn is to the cause, and our aim to be carbon neutral by 2030.”

In May, Nonwovenn bought a site in Bridgwater, U.K. after occupying it for nearly 20 years. The company specializes in creating technical fabrics that are widely used across the medical, industrial, packaging, and protective clothing sector and focues on ventilators during the Coronavirus pandemic.
 

The company  financed the purchase of the site with a  £6.6m funding package from Lloyds Bank to secure ownership of its production site. The business is also using the loan to invest in new technology to increase its product range and volume. 


“Securing the building for the long-term has generated a positive vibe throughout the workforce and reaffirms our commitment to a people-first approach to business,” says chairman David Lamb. “We’re a niche manufacturing business and our clients often approach us with a problem they need us to solve – our products are something customers need, not necessarily want.
