Ontex Group NV, a leading developer and producer of personal care solutions, is introducing bio-based superabsorbent polymers (bioSAP) in its diapers, starting with selected Moltex Pure and Nature products. This new material will replace virgin fossil-based plastic SAP, reducing the carbon footprint of the product by 15-25%. The move aligns with Ontex’s commitment to incorporating sustainable practices into its products. BioSAP is a key component in reducing Ontex’s Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions, which are largely driven by raw materials. The company aims to reduce these emissions by 25% by 2030. The introduction of bioSAP is a strategic step towards achieving this goal and lays the groundwork for future applications. Ontex views biodegradable SAP as a key enabler for circular solutions and invites its partners to collaborate in scaling up bioSAP and other sustainable innovations. The company is committed to providing sustainable products that don’t compromise on affordability, quality, or comfort, and is working towards a more circular and sustainable future.
