A nonwoven web, containing at least one first homogeneous layer consisting of a blend of at least one of defibrated natural plant based fibers, individualized natural plant based fibers and staple fibers is provided. The nonwoven web contains no binder, adhesive or thermal bonding fibers and a basis weight of the at least one homogeneous layer is from 20 g/m.sup.2 to 100 g/m.sup.2. When a weighted average fiber length of the at least one of defibrated natural plant based fibers, individualized natural plant based fibers and staple fibers is greater than about 4.0 mm, the nonwoven web is a non-dispersible product which does not meet the requirement for dispersibility in accordance with INDA/EDANA GD4, and when a weighted average fiber length of the at least one of defibrated natural plant based fibers, individualized natural plant based fibers and staple fibers is less than about 4.0 min, the nonwoven web is a dispersible product as defined in accordance with INDA/EDANA GD4. Methods to prepare the nonwoven web are provided.

An absorbent material, such as a non-woven web or a tissue paper, includes continuous filaments and short fibers, the short fibers including natural and/or synthetic fibers or staple fibers. The absorbent material exhibits an absorbency speed of equal to or less than 2 s and a weight loss when washed of equal to or less than 5%. The absorbent material can be incorporated into a wipe.

A repulpable insulation material includes a batt formed of a mixture of thermoplastic binder fibers and cellulose fibers bound together by the thermoplastic binder fibers. The thermoplastic binder fibers make up about 0.5% to 25% by weight of the batt. The repulpable insulation material have a weight within a range from 1000 GSM to 1600 GSM. Subjecting the repulpable insulation material to a repulpability test produces greater than 85% fiber yield.

Described herein is a wet wipe including a substrate and a lotion. The substrate includes from about 14.5% to about 100% cotton. The lotion includes from about 98% to about 99.5% water and has an Equivalence Value from about 30 to about 95.

Described herein is an array of wet wipe packages including a first package and a second package. The first package includes a first wet wipe having a first nonwoven material and a first lotion. The first nonwoven material includes from about 14.5% to about 45% cotton. The first lotion includes from about 98.5% to about 99.5% water and is devoid of fragrance and/or perfume. The first wet wipe has an Equivalence Value from about 30 to about 95. The second package includes a second wet wipe having a second nonwoven material and a second lotion. The second lotion is different than the first lotion. The first package and the second package are designed to be sold individually. The first package and the second package each include a common brand name.

Certain configurations are described herein of a thermoplastic sheet or article comprising a plurality of porous layers coupled to each other. In one configuration, the thermoplastic article may comprise a core layer, a first layer disposed on one surface of the core layer and a second layer disposed on another surface of the core layer. In some instances, each of the core layer, the first layer and the second layer may comprises a web of open celled structures formed by a plurality of reinforcing materials bonded together with a thermoplastic material and optionally may also include a lofting agent. The lofting capacity in different layers can be selected or tuned to provide desired properties.
