Abena UK

General information

Abena manufacture and distribute a vast range of high quality healthcare products to suit a wide variety of needs and purposes.
From skincare, to incontinence products, to protective wear and catering supplies... the list goes on!

Abena’s innovative production facility in Denmark runs non-stop 24 hours a day. On an average day, we produce millions of absorbent pads.

Our production facilities in Sweden, France and Denmark manufacture the widest range of absorbent incontinence products available.

The EU estimates that 3 billion tonnes of waste is thrown away in Europe every year. This number continues to rise and the OECD calculates that it will have increased by 45 % in 2020, if nothing is done to reverse the problem. [Source: OECD]

Abena do not want to add to that statistic. We realise that running a production facility can affect the environment and for that reason, we take every possible precaution to keep our waste level at an absolute minimum.

Our own production in Denmark recycles a full 95 % of all waste coming from our production of incontinence pads and baby diapers. The waste consists of e.g. foil wrapping from raw materials and surplus textiles.

Abena’s waste is collected and sold to recycling companies, where it is processed in a cradle-to-cradle lifecycle that transforms it into new raw materials. This enables us to handle waste in an environment friendly way that helps decrease the exploitation of natural resources.
