Here’s your weekly recap—the most viewed news stories on our site for the week ended March 5, 2022.

U.K. retailer Tesco will be the first retail store to cut sales of baby wipes containing plastic thanks to a decision that will become effective in March. The plan to stop selling plastic wipes altogether follows the retailer’s decision to make its own-brand wipes plastic-free two years ago. Tesco’s store brand wipes contain plant-based viscose in place a petroleum-based plastic feedstock.

In other news, online voting for the prestigious IDEA® Achievement Awards has opened. The awards represent the “best of the best” innovations in the global nonwovens and engineered fabrics industry in six categories.
