Plastic Reduction
A main area of focus for PHL has been the reduction of plastics in our packaging for both our condoms and personal lubricants. Moving our lubricants from complex pump bottles to squeezable tubes has reduced plastic use by 49%. This also makes material separation at the point of disposal and recycling easier for the consumer. We have also moved away from plastic zip-seal bags for our mail order condoms to paper based versions with a 50% reduction on plastic.
Carbon Reduction Plan
Pasante Healthcare Ltd has made a firm commitment to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2048, demonstrating their dedication to environmental sustainability and responsible business practices.
Rubber Recycling
Every year, Karex factories recycle 342 metric tonnes of scrapped rubber into high grade rubber sheets for use in other industries.
FSC card
We offer FSC card as an option for our private label customers. FSC (Forest Stewardship Council certification) confirms that the card used in the packaging comes from a forest that is being managed in a way that preserves biological diversity and benefits the lives of local people and workers, while ensuring it sustains economic viability.
Packaging Innovation
Pasante and Karex are alway researching and developing creative packaging solutions, such as our current tamper-proof packaging which removes the need for the plastic shrink-wrap traditionally found on condom packs. We are also working with our private label customers to develop more sustainable and environmentally friendly packaging solutions.
