Reusable Absorbant Hygiene Products – R&D testing 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 with an increased focus on the eco-responsibility aspects of these "new" Absorbent Hygiene products.
Consumer's expectations:
• More materials of natural origin • Zero waste • A sustainable product • An approach to circular economy
