Reusable Absorbant Hygiene Products – Development tests Science Inspired, Quality Driven.
Market trends
Who could have imagined a few years ago that reusable products would revamp and become a permanent part of consumer habits, complementing and sometimes replacing single-use products. The level of product acceptance has greatly evolved and to some extend is more lenient on performance from the perception of eco-responsibility point which seems to be inherent of this "new" Absorbent Hygiene products. Relative consumers generally expect:
• More materials of natural origin • Zero waste • A sustainable product • An approach to circular economy
Thanks to its expertise for more than 30 years on absorbent products, and its numerous conclusive tests on washable product references, SGS supports you during your Research and Development projects on a whole range of products. SGS provides robust and transparent information to its customers who can benefit from that support to ensure a smooth marketing process and regular checks for safety, performance and quality.
