Here’s your weekly recap—the most-viewed news stories on our site for the week ended December 13, 2025.

Ontex Group, a leading international developer and producer of personal care products, has revised its full year expectations for revenue growth, following decreased baby care sales in October and November, amidst weaker-than-expected consumer demand. This revision also impacts Ontex’s adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow and leverage ratio expectations. The consumption of retailer brands dropped sequentially in the fourth quarter, both in Europe and North America, as consumer demand weakened further and promotional activity by A-brands created more intense competition.

Meanwhile, Unicharm Corporation has announced the development of an innovative new technology, the “Dry Washing Method,” as part of its “RefF (Recycle for the Future)” disposable diaper recycling project. This pioneering method is set to open the path for disposable diaper recycling globally, particularly in water-scarce regions.
