With Green Manta, the previous PE individual packaging of a sanitary napkin or a light incontinence product is replaced by a neat, flat paper bag, similar to an envelope, to avoid plastic. The new Green Manta module brings together W+D‘s Mail Solutions and BICMA’s Hygiene Solutions technology to create an environmentally friendly and efficient individual wrapping made of paper. The environmental benefit is high: For a sanitary napkin, the new concept saves about 25 million square meters of plastic film in the course of one year – corresponding to an area of almost 3500 soccer fields.
This type of packaging is suitable for panty shields, sanitary napkins, and products for light incontinence. W+D BICMA offers this concept for own production lines, and as retrofits for existing machines of all brands.
