Natracare Tops the League with Ethical and Eco Credentials
We all
want and need to make changes to help protect our health and environment, but with
an ever increasing minefield of green and ethical claims out there, it can be
hard to know which brands we can really trust and those which will really make
a difference. Independent and respected awards and accreditations give an easy
way to weed out the true green brands.
The
organic and natural feminine hygiene brand, Natracare, has once again been
recognized for its ethical and environmental credentials having been given an
award from the Ethical Company Organisation, a fully independent endorsement
which outlines the ‘premier league’ of genuine corporate social
responsibility and ethical companies. During the analysis Natracare achieved an outstanding Ethical Accreditation
Index score, which places it at the top of the table for the Sanitary
Protection sector.
The
Natracare brand philosophy has always been to provide products that never
compromise health or the environment. Many brands of sanitary protection contain crude oil
plastics, synthetics, harsh chemicals and even dioxin residues, which can cause
intimate irritation for women and thousands of years of pollution for our
global environment. All Natracare tampons, pads, liners and wipes are 100%
chlorine-free, plastic-free and crude oil derivatives-free. In addition to the
new Ethical Award and a Women in Ethical Business award, Natracare is the first
feminine hygiene brand to have obtained an International Environmental Product Declaration (EPD[1]) a
scientifically validated, independently-assessed life cycle analysis which
determines the carbon footprint of the products as well as a Green
accreditation officiated by the Nordic
Ecolabel organisation. The
entire range has been awarded the LOHAS award
for its environmental and sustainable criteria. The comprehensive
Natracare range is designed so that certified organic 100% cotton is next to
your skin. The range includes Soil Association certified Organic 100% Cotton
tampons with and without applicators, organic and natural Ultra pads and Panty
Liners, Organic Cotton Intimate Wipes, Organic Cotton Baby Wipes, Nursing pads,
Maxi pads and Dry & Light Pads for sensitive bladders.
