More than 50 years of dedicated work to reduce our environmental impact means that ABENA's Danish production facility today is 100% covered by wind energy. In this way, we are able to give our products a clean beginning of their lifecycle.
A responsible Danish factory
It is at our production site in Aabenraa, Denmark, that 4 million incontinence products and baby diapers are produced daily.
Running a responsible factory means that we constantly aim to minimize our environmental footprint and reduce our CO2 emissions. Our long-term work to optimize our production facilities according to internationally acknowledged standards for environmental management means that:
*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.
