Ontex Healthcare launches environmental campaign to reduce its waste and become carbon neutral
Incontinence solutions specialist Ontex Healthcare has launched an ambitious new environmental policy to become a carbon neutral operation by 2030 with zero waste to landfill in the same year.
To achieve its goals the company has set out an upscaled sustainability strategy with clear goals addressing recycling, zero waste production and circular solutions.
A spokesperson commented: “With a company ethos to make a difference by building a world where everyone has access to affordable, personal hygiene products, sustainability is a fundamental part of the strategy moving forwards.“
Ontex has stated that 100 per cent of its packaging will be recyclable by 2030 and it intends to increase renewable and recycled plastic in its plastic packaging.
By 2030 the firm has committed to ensuring that all of its production sites will have zero waste to landfill and will be aiming to turn waste into resources.
Circularity will be a prime design consideration for its absorbent hygiene products, Ontex has confirmed, and it intends to become a carbon neutral operation.
The company states that it is committed to reducing direct and indirect emissions using science-based targets aligned with the reductions called for by climate scientists.
Ontex has confirmed that it aims to source 100 per cent renewable electricity in its own operations by 2030.
The firm also intends to employ methods such as carbon sinks, which are natural or artificial deposits that absorb and store carbon from the atmosphere and reduce greenhouse effects.
