What is Nonwoven fabric?
Source: Wikipedia
Nonwoven fabric is a fabric-like material made from staple fiber (short) and long fibers (continuous long), bonded together by chemical, mechanical, heat or solvent treatment. The term is used in the textile manufacturing industry to denote fabrics, such as felt, which are neither woven nor knitted.[1] Some nonwoven materials lack sufficient strength unless densified or reinforced by a backing. In recent years, nonwovens have become an alternative to polyurethane foam.[2]

The base stock for paper, textile and non-woven is typically cellulose fiber, the difference between 3 type of products are how the fibers held together.
– Textiles, where the fibers are held together mainly by mechanical entanglement e.g. woven.
– Paper, where the cellulose fibers are basically bonded together by weak chemical hydrogen bonds.
– Nonwovens, by contrast, are bonded together in one or more of the following ways:
1.Strong chemical bonding agents. Eg: synthetic resins, latices or solvents.
2.Melting adjacent fibers (thermal bonding).
3.Fairly random mechanical intertwining of the filaments. Eg: spun lace bonding (i.e. hydro-entanglement), needle punching, or stitch bonding.
Commodity products: wipes ; napkins; table cloths; tea bags; apparel interlinings; medical (eg: surgical gowns, face masks, caps, shoe covers, wound dressings); filters (automotive, ventilation, etc); battery separators; carpet backing; oil absorbents.

How are Non-Woven Polypropylene Bags Eco-Friendly?
Nonwoven polypropylene bags promote a greener earth because they are reusable, easy to clean, recyclable, and sometimes made with recycled products. These bags can be quickly wiped clean, and some of them are machine washable in cold water if they are drip dried. Most nonwoven polypropylene bags are also made of 5-type recyclable plastic. Reusing and recycling them could save many standard plastic bags from sitting in a landfill. After the non-woven polypropylene bags have been recycled, they may even be made into new totes.
What are Some Additional Benefits of Non-Woven Polypropylene Bags?
Less energy is used to create nonwoven polypropylene bags than is used to create cotton bags. If more companies begin producing nonwoven polypropylene materials, then the pollutants could be decreased and nonwoven polypropylene will become even more environmentally-friendly.
