Safety of Packing Nonwovens from Secondary Feedstock for the Horticultural Production

Abstract

To reduce expenses and economize resources in production of nonwovens, investigations directed to the possibility of processing the textile waste and their
repeated use in producing new textile goods with the simultaneous solution of environmental problems are urgent. The results of studying the safety of experimental
needle-punched nonwovens of different fibrous structures made of secondary raw materials to use them as packaging for horticultural products. The basic
sanitary-chemical, toxicological, and radiological characteristics are investigated in order to prevent possible adverse effects of products from polymeric materials
for quality of food products and human health.
