Euro Wipes, part of the Anjac Health & Beauty group, a specialist in wipes, cotton discs and impregnated fabric masks for hygiene, cosmetics and health applications, has set itself apart by launching the first natural, compostable, biodegradable 100 % fabric masks, packaged in recyclable paper bags.
Euro Wipes places sustainable innovation at the heart of its strategy, and in particular invested during 2020 in a new production line for support masks to complete its dermo-cosmetic and cosmetic product offering.
The impregnating substrates for Euro Wipes fabric masks are plant-based, compostable and biodegradable. But to meet the challenge of a 100 % compostable product, Euro Wipes has also developed a compostable formula with 99.5 % ingredients of natural origin. And all this without compromising on effectiveness.
On the packaging side, the 100 % made in France recyclable paper bag is authorized to join the established paper recycling network.
"Euro Wipes thus continues its progress towards ever more innovative products combining efficiency, practicality and durability".the company says.
Eco-design at the heart of development
From formula to packaging, Euro Wipes is committed to eco-design in the development of its products. With a 100 % compostable finished product (backing + formula), Euro Wipes masks can be certified "OK Compost Home".
A compostable product is by nature biodegradable, but the reverse is not always true. The new Euro Wipes masks, under the action of natural microorganisms at room temperature and in an oxygen-rich environment, disintegrate into soil-like by-products. The latter can then be reused as a natural fertilizer. This is no mean feat when you consider that the law calls for all households to have biowaste sorted at source by 2025, so that biowaste is no longer thrown away in residual household waste.
Euro Wipes also confirms the clean and safe nature of its innovations, thanks to the tests carried out on the products developed and to the Beautylitic formulation intelligence tool, with which the entire Anjac group works closely.
