ABOUT THE MANUFACTURERS
Abena only uses state-of-the-art renewable raw materials.
- The wood pulp is derived from sustainable forestry where more trees are planted than felled.
- There is zero chlorine used in the bleaching process.
- No chemicals or compounds which are considered SVHC (Substances of Very High Concern) are used as dictated by REACH Article 33(2).
- No known substances that are harmful to health or the environment: phthalates, organotin compounds, heavy metals, chlorine, formaldehyde, AZO pigments and PVC.

Abena adheres to strict requirements during production.
