BRUSSELS - EDANA is to create a Stewardship Programme aimed at limiting the presence of chemical impurities found in diapers, incontinence care and female sanitary items, such as tampons and sanitary towels.
Covering the breadth of the absorbent hygiene products sector, industry will devise the programme in consultation with regulators, academia, consumer groups and suppliers. Crucially, EDANA, further to intensive research and dialogue across the industry in the past two years, has decided to voluntarily go beyond current EU and national legislation in the field to limit the presence of impurities.
