A GREENER PRODUCT PORTFOLIO FOR OUR PATIENTS WE ARE PLACING HIGH QUALITY REQUIREMENTS ON OUR SUPPLIERS WE KNOW WHERE OUR PRODUCTS ARE – AT ANY TIME WE ALWAYS WANT TO DO BETTER A Greener Product Portfolio for our Patients BACK TO TOP A Greener Product Portfolio for our Patients We are constantly extending our Own Label product portfolio with new products that are either being developed centrally or locally. One of our ambitions is to do this in a sustainable way, which includes a gradual shift towards more eco-friendly product attributes because we know that a more sustainable Own Label assortment is a double win: It meets our customers’ expectations for a green alternative, and it is better for the planet! A new eco-friendly product that was just launched in Italy & Ireland and soon also in Portugal is the Natural Lip Balm Jojoba oil & organic Shea butter. This product contains 99.7% natural ingredients, is BIOS certified and also vegan and reef friendly. The packaging of the lip balm is fully recyclable – the card box is made of FSC certified paper, cap and base of lip balm itself is made of 100% recyclable plastic. Furthermore, the base is made of WPC – wood plastic compound, with 30-40% of vegetable fibers coming from renewable sources.
