LIFE - The EU funding instrument for the environment
The EcoCare project was supported by the EU LIFE programme, Environment sub-programme: “Environment and resource efficiency”
DESCRIPTION
EcoCare: Less material – less waste – less greenhouse gas
Reduce the environmental impact of AHP:
- Increased material efficiency
Superior product performance with less environmental impact:
Smartly restructured fiber distribution through the internal layers of absorbent material.
- Smart product design with sustainable materials
bio-based, from renewable and recyclable resources, for example, cotton, cellulose, corn, starch, vegetable wax, and plastics from vegetal sources like bio-SAP, bio-films, and bio PE/PP nonwovens.
- Sustainability improvement through localized supply chain: EU sourced fibers.
RESULTS
EcoCare: Sustainability Benefit
- Material reduction (10-25%)*
- Waste prevention / reduction (10-25%)*
- GHG emission reduction (5-15%)*
- Increased sustainable resources in the product
- over 75% weight for menstrual protection,
- up to 50% for baby diapers
*values confirmed by environmental impact assessment.
