The use of raw materials constitutes our biggest environmental impact. For example,approximately half of our total greenhouse gas emissions stem from raw materials. That's why we work to continuously reduce the overall usage of raw materials and to avoid raw materials that are particularly harmful to the environment.

The primary method we use to address environmental challenges is the incorporation of ecodesign-principles when developing products. A few examples:

By using a few millimetres lees plastic foil for Self-Cath packaging, we saved enough to wrap the Empire State Building 4 times a year.

By using 50% less aluminium for packing our product, SpeediCath, we have saved the equivalent of 100 beverage cans per year per user.

Energy efficiency

We continuously aim to reduce the amount of energy used per product. Combined with the use of energy from renewable sources. This is an efficient way to reduce the climate-related impacts from our production. 

We aim to bring down emissions by substituting air transport with other means of transportation by sea and ground with an ambition to limit the use of air freight to 5% of total goods transported.
