Process
- In general,
net production can be broken down into four steps: (1) derivatives
from the oil industry are used to make material for extrusion into
fiber; (2) this raw material is extruded into yarn; (3) yarn is
warped, knitted, and heat-stretched (stented), if needed, to make
netting material; and (4) netting material is cut and sewn into
nets.
- Manufacturing
a bednet begins at the netting material production facility. The
first step is to produce or purchase monofilament fiber, such as 75
denier polyester fiber. Multiple spools of fiber are then spun onto
one larger spool using a “warping” machine.15 These large spools are
placed onto a “warp weaving” machine, which then makes netting 60
inches in width

- Estimates of
net use show a great deal of disparity across SSA, but typically
reveal that 10 to 30 percent of the population uses untreated
nets7,8; the percentage who use ITNs is much lower. Enormous
progress is still needed to reach the 60 percent coverage goal for
vulnerable populations, which was set at the Roll Back Malaria (RB
M) summit in Abuja, Nigeria, in April 2000.
- The Government
of Kenya’s “Insecticide Treated Nets Strategy 2001-2006” sets a goal
of 2 million new nets acquired, and 10 million nets treated with
appropriate insecticides, per year. In 2001, a reasonable estimate
is that 150,000 - 200,000 untreated nets were sold by the Kenyan
private sector. Another 100,000 nets (with insecticide treatments)
were imported by NGOs and distributed through projects or sold by
retail outlets at subsidized prices.
