Our responsible production

In ABENA, we ensure a positive impact on the environment by having a responsible and sustainable own production. Energy use, waste management, and CO2 reductions are just a few of our focus areas.

Minimizing our environmental impact 

Minimizing the impact on our environment is a cornerstone of ABENA's sustainability mission and we think the environment into every step of our products' lifecycle. We are keen to keep optimizing our environmental work and we have come far. 



Today, our own productions are: 

  • covered by 100% renewable energy (covered by renewable electricity certificates)
  • reducing CO2 emission levels
  • optimizing the use of raw materials
  • reducing waste generation
  • securing a sustainable development

A production covered by renewable energy

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 (via renewable electricity certificates). 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:

  • Our CO2 emissions are reduced by 62.1%* between 2009 and 2019 
  • 85.4% of our waste was recycled in 2019

*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.
