The winners of the 2020 edition of the Index Innovation Awards have been announced by the international association serving the nonwovens and related industries, Edana, Brussels/Belgium.
Held every 3 years to acknowledge “Excellence in the nonwovens and related industries”, the ceremony was originally programmed to take place during the Index20 exhibition in April this year.

In addition to the Award categories, a separate ‘People’s Prize’ was introduced to ensure visibility for all the Awards nominees’ projects and demonstrating the breadth of creativity in the nonwovens industry and its suppliers. The winner was Omya International with its Omyafiber 800.
