Product Sustainability Analysis

Scope & Approach 

This qualitative assessment covers primary materials, formulation choices, packaging, and end‑of‑life guidance for Santerra wipes and tissue products. 

Wipes (Baby & Multipurpose) 

Materials: Biodegradable spunlace (viscose and/or bamboo). Benefits: soft handfeel, strong when wet, compost‑friendly fabric under suitable conditions. 
Formulation: High‑water content (~98–99%), skin humectants, and approved preservative systems; no parabens/phthalates. Potential improvements: fragrance‑free variants; RSPO‑certified emollients where used. 

Packaging: Film pouches with resealable lids. Improvement roadmap: thinner films, recyclable mono‑material options, PCR content trials subject to barrier performance. 

EOL: Do not flush. Dispose in trash. Fabric biodegradation depends on conditions (industrial composting faster than landfill). 

Tissues (Facial, Toilet, Kitchen) 

Materials: FSC‑certified or responsibly sourced pulp; 2‑ply/3‑ply. Benefits: compostable paper substrate. Improvement roadmap: increase recycled content where product performance allows. 

Packaging: Shrink films and paper wraps; aim to reduce plastic thickness and increase recyclability. 
EOL: Recycle clean cores and cartons; soiled paper typically not recyclable. 

Risk & Opportunity Summary 

Risks: packaging recyclability limits; supply variability; greenwashing risk without data. Opportunities: certified inputs, mono‑material packaging, lab testing transparency, supplier scorecards. 

KPIs & Next Steps 

KPIs: % biodegradable fabric by weight; % certified pulp; g plastic/pack; supplier audit completion. 
Next: collect primary data from vendors; publish yearly progress; pilot recyclable film with select SKUs.
