Environmental Records

Easydry is fully committed to the concept and practice of sustainable product development.

Easydry's primary objective is to develop an innovative range of products using sustainable raw materials and processes to ensure minimal environmental impact. Our commitment to safeguarding the world's environment extends to every step of production. We have carefully and painstakingly forged every possible link in our supply chain to partner only with companies that can demonstrate their own commitment to sustainability and environmentally conscious processes.

Raw materials
Easydry takes its responsibilities seriously when sourcing raw materials:

• The trees that provide our raw material come from sustainable, properly managed forestry. We use no chemical fertilisers or pesticides, artificial irrigation, genetic modification or illegally harvested wood.
• Our trees are grown on marginal land unsuitable for food crops or human habitation.
• Our forestry sources are continuously monitored, assessed and certified.
• Cultivation and production of our raw materials combined uses approximately 40 times less water than the cultivation of cotton.

Production
Easydry partners only with companies that share its attitudes on sustainability and environmentally friendly processes. Our partner companies are extremely conscious of their responsibilities and adhere to the highest environmental standards.

Compostability/Recyclability Easydry towels are 100% biodegradable. They will fully biodegrade in com- postable conditions within 12 weeks.

What is EasyDry?

Easydry disposable towels are highly absorbent, hygienic, convenient, cost-effective and most importantly, environmentally friendly.
