Are TENA products biodegradable, or suitable for composting?
Firstly, we strongly advise against any home composting of used hygiene products because it involves the risk of spreading medical remnants and harmful microbial content (and it’s also illegal in some countries). In industrial composting, the recycling of used bladder weakness products is difficult. Removing the plastic content may mean having to install machinery and consequently increases the energy use. An alternative to composting is biogasification. This produces methane gas that can then be used for energy purposes.
