*** "Carbon footprint in use" includes the carbon footprint of both the absorbent products and laundry due to leakages, in delivering Toileting & Containment Care. Result is based on a clinical trial (data on file/publication link) and a Life Cycle Assessment performed by Essity and third-party reviewed. Assumptions on day- and nighttime leakage, giving different laundry volumes, were based on internal Essity data on file. Absorbent product environmental impact was based on raw material acquisition, production, transport and waste handling.
