Capital requirements generally include land acquisition, construction, equipment procurement, installation, pre-operative expenses, and initial working capital. The total amount varies with capacity, technology, and location.
To start a biodegradable wipes manufacturing business, one needs to conduct a market feasibility study, secure required licenses, arrange funding, select suitable land, procure equipment, recruit skilled labor, and establish a supply chain and distribution network.
Biodegradable wipes manufacturing requires raw materials such as natural, plant-based fibers like bamboo, wood pulp, and cotton, as well as regenerated cellulose fibers, including viscose and lyocell. In addition to the base material, other raw materials include cleansing ingredients, preservatives, water, and biopolymer coatings like chitosan or alginates for added functionality.
A biodegradable wipes factory typically requires nonwoven fabric cutting machines, wetting and dosing systems, folding and packaging machines, sealing units, mixing tanks for liquid formulations, water purification systems, labeling machines, and quality control instruments.
The main steps generally include:
Selection of biodegradable nonwoven fabric
Preparation of natural wetting solution
Feeding fabric into cutting machine
Wetting and saturation with liquid formula
Folding and stacking of moist wipes
Sealing, labeling, and hygienic packaging
Quality testing for safety and biodegradability
