Abena’s own production facility in Denmark runs non-stop
24 hours a day, 7 days per week and 365 days per year.
Our non-stop production enables us to produce large volumes of high quality incontinence pads and baby diapers to keep up with the ever increasing demand. Abena’s state-of-the-art production facility manufactures an average of 300-800 incontinence pads and baby diapers per minute.
A Production Supplied 100% by Wind Energy
It is at our production site in Aabenraa, Denmark, that more than 3 million incontinence products and baby diapers are produced daily, and each product is produced on Danish principles for sustainability.
Today, our Danish production facility runs solely on wind energy and a green production continues being at the core of our DNA.
A Green Factory:
- CO2 emissions* per item is reduced by 56.1% since 2009
- In 2018, 86.36% of our waste was recycled
- We are ISO50001 certified meaning that we constantly focus on optimizing our energy consumption.
*CO2 emissions cover electricity, gas and oil and are calculated based on Energinet's and the Danish Energy Agency's standard factors. Calculations of kWh electricity to kg CO2 are based on Energinet's Environmental Declaration. Calculations from l oil and kg gas to kg CO2 are based on the Danish Energy Agency's standards for calorific values and emission factors.
