EDANA, the leading global association representing the nonwovens and related industries, acknowledges the European Commission’s potential decision to implement countermeasures in response to the recently imposed US tariffs on EU steel, aluminium, and certain derived products. As the voice of over 250 companies in the nonwovens supply chain, we are closely monitoring the implications of these measures and their potential impact on our members.

EDANA, the voice of nonwovens, is pleased to announce the three nominees for the FILTREX™ Innovation Award 2025, recognizing outstanding innovation in the filtration industry. The FILTREX™ Innovation Award honors innovation in the filtration sector, recognizing the ongoing commitment to excellence by manufacturers of nonwoven-based filtration products and components.

As a component of the wider Competitiveness Compass initiative, the European Commission adopted a new package of proposals to simplify EU Rules, boost competitiveness, and unlock additional investment capacity.

As part of the broader Competitiveness Compass, the European Commission is introducing the Clean Industrial Deal, a strategy that unites climate ambitions and industrial competitiveness under one comprehensive framework. This initiative aims to accelerate both decarbonisation and reindustrialisation, strengthening the business case for climate-neutral investments and achieving a resilient European production ecosystem.
