Sustainable & Tree-Free
The production of tree-fiber-based disposable diapers globally consumes approximately 39 billion liters of water annually. It is a staggering volume that contributes to water scarcity and environmental degradation. This underscores the urgent need for tree-free, water-efficient alternatives in the hygiene industry.
TREEFREE PASSPORT™ Certifies tree-free hygiene products, advancing sustainability, regulatory compliance, supporting global reforestation efforts and ending the overuse of scarce water resources in the upstream production of hygiene products.
Verified Tree-Free
Hygiene Products
TREEFREE PASSPORT™ ensures that disposable hygiene products, including baby diapers and other essential items, are Certified as tree-free. By replacing traditional wood-based core materials with advanced sustainable alternatives, TREEFREE PASSPORT™ empowers manufacturers to create products that minimize environmental impact and reduce dependence on deforestation-prone resources.
Our rigorous Certification process verifies that products meet strict standards for material sourcing, production efficiency, and environmental responsibility. Certified tree-free products are designed not only to protect forests but also to conserve vital ecosystems, support biodiversity, and offer eco-conscious consumers a more sustainable choice.
Sustainability Leaders & EUDR Compliance
TREEFREE PASSPORT™ aligns with the European Union Deforestation-Free Regulation (EUDR) and other global sustainability standards, ensuring full compliance with evolving environmental laws. Our Certification process includes supply chain transparency, requiring companies to trace and verify raw materials to ensure no link to deforestation.
TREEFREE PASSPORT™ empowers businesses to meet these regulations while setting a higher standard of sustainability for the hygiene industry. By combining responsible sourcing, production efficiency, and environmental stewardship, our program helps stakeholders achieve regulatory compliance while contributing to a more sustainable and climate-resilient future.
Reforestation & Clean Water Priority
TREEFREE PASSPORT™ actively supports global reforestation efforts and clean water initiatives to combat climate change. By partnering with organizations like Tree-Nation, we contribute to reforestation projects that restore degraded ecosystems, offset carbon emissions, and protect vital water resources.
Every tree planted through our program helps stabilize soil, reduce runoff pollution, and promote healthier aquatic ecosystems. These efforts are essential in mitigating the effects of climate change while safeguarding biodiversity and improving the quality of life for communities worldwide. TREEFREE PASSPORT™ goes beyond certification by investing in impactful climate action to ensure a greener, cleaner planet for future generations.
