WHY REUSABLE?
Why reusable hygiene products are the right commercial choice
As consumer and regulatory pressure to reduce single-use products grows, smart retailers are future-proofing their brands by introducing reusable product ranges. Get on board with this growing category now.
The waste-reduction hierarchy – why reuse beats recycling
Legacy brands are fiddling with recyclability and compostability while the earth burns. Meanwhile, Confitex Technology has leapfrogged up the hierarchy to focus on reuse – the only answer that offers significant immediate waste reduction.
“The journey to a pollution-free world begins with reducing the size of the problem. Because one thing is clear: we cannot recycle our way out of this mess.”
Inger Andersen, Executive Director of the United Nations Environment Programme
OUR PRODUCTS
How reusable hygiene products reduce landfill at scale
Single-use hygiene products make up about 10 percent of landfill*, and often contain plastics and superabsorbent polymers that take up to 500 years to biodegrade. Even if personal hygiene products could be reused only once, they have the potential to reduce planet Earth’s landfill by five percent. And our reusable products do so much better than that – each one replaces at least 30 single-use pads, liners, shields, guards or underpads!
