Hansaplast,
Elastoplast, and CURITAS maximized all key aspects of the GREEN & PROTECT plasters
in terms of sustainability, combining it with their well-known product
performance and reliable wound protection. The wound pad and backing are made
from naturally derived fibers and, just as the release liner, from wood types
taken from FSC®-certified forests only. Additionally, the plaster packaging
is unbleached, 93% recycled and has the lowest weight possible for the material
used. Alexander Reindler, General Manager Global Health Care, underlines: “We
have worked intensively on maximizing the sustainability aspects of GREEN &
PROTECT without compromising on the reliable wound protection that blocks 99%
of bacteria**, as promised by our Bacteria Shield logo. However, we wanted to
go even further, so we decided to balance all remaining emissions through
certified climate projects.”
