Unicharm Corporation’s subsidiary in Indonesia, PT Uni-Charm Indonesia Tbk (UCI), has launched a limited-time product using bio material, Charm Daun Sirih + Herbal Bio from its sanitary napkin brand Charm in Indonesia on World Environment Day. The surface sheet that touches the skin is made from bio material such as previously disposed pressed sugarcane, limestone, botanical oil, and natural resins, in an effort to further reduce the use of petroleum-based materials. In addition, materials containing bio material were also used for the backsheet of the sanitary napkin, individual packaging, and outer packaging.
