AHP and the Environment

Environmental Update

At AHP, we recognize the reality of the impact of disposable diapers on the environment. Although we do manufacture disposable diapers and training pants from chlorine-free materials we realize that this alone is not enough and are continuously searching for raw materials that are better for the environment.

As one of our social responsibility endeavors, we are committed to improving our environmental footprint in many of our operational decisions. Some of these endeavors include:

• Paper, plastic and corrugate recycling programs at each of our corporate, manufacturing & distribution facilities.
• Recycling 90% of all waste generated by our Delaware and Waco facilities.
• Replacing all propane-powered fork lifts with electric versions, thereby reducing carbon emissions.
• Converting to high-efficiency fluorescent light fixtures, resulting in a 30% energy reduction.
• Installing multiple filtration systems to remove airborne dust and particles.
• Converting to compressed packaging, this allows for reduced material usage. Smaller packaging means shipping more products using fewer trucks, significantly reducing fuel consumption.
• Expanding the use of 25% recycled poly packaging in our operations.
• Conduct quarterly storm water testing for PH, copper, zinc, grease and oil.
