Our understanding

End consumers require hygiene products that offer increased benefits like comfort, well-being and discreetness. They are conscious about waste and sustainability topics.

For our customers the use of renewable raw materials and an increased efficiency are important to innovate and differentiate with their products and to achieve their sustainability goals.

Our contributions for a sustainable development

Our products have at least one specific advantage with respect to our customers and end consumer needs:

  • HySorb® and SAVIVA® permeable products increase performance and allow thinner diapers, reducing also waste generation.
  • HySorb® Biomass Balanced is our high-performance superabsorbent polymer based on renewable raw materials with a sustainability certificate.
  • HySorb® B 6610 ZeroPCF is our first polyacrylate based superabsorbent polymer (SAP) marketed with a product carbon footprint (PCF) of zero for the hygiene industry.
  • HySorb® Odor Control increases discreetness and well being.
