Here’s your weekly recap—the most-viewed news stories on our site for the week ended July 12, 2025.
 
Ontex Group, an international developer and producer of personal care solutions, is advancing its sustainability journey with the introduction of bio-based superabsorbent polymers (bioSAP) in its diapers, with an initial rollout in selected products. This new material replaces virgin fossil-based plastic SAP in the core absorbent component, helping to lower the product’s carbon footprint while maintaining its performance.
 
Meanwhile, New York has become the first state in the nation to require manufacturers to disclose all intentionally added ingredients on baby diaper packaging. NY State Senate Bill S2279C, which will become law no later than December 2025, applies to both disposable and reusable diapers and is intended to give parents critical information they currently lack about the ingredients and materials that go into diapers.
