GREEN & PROTECT is our first step towards a sustainable wound protection. The innovative plaster combines eco-friendly materials while offering reliable Elastoplast quality. We have put effort into identifying more sustainable material for key components of our plaster.

*The wound pad and backing are made from naturally derived fibres and are fully biodegradable. All materials with botanic origin are sourced from FSC® certified forests (Beiersdorf FSC® license number is FSC® N003710). 

**The electricity used in the production process is generated from 100% renewable sources. All remaining emissions are compensated through certified afforestation projects.

Our GREEN & PROTECT plasters have an extra strong adhesion while being water repellent and durable. The non-stick wound pad cushions and protects the wound.

*Elastoplast plasters block 99% of dirt and bacteria.

The plasters are available

• as strips in different sizes which seal all around the wound and
• as dressing length which can be cut to the ideal size.

Water repellent and durable material. 

*Skin compatibility dermatologically approved.

The Afforestation Project

Our GREEN & PROTECT products are 100% climate neutralised via carbon offsetting, through certified afforestation projects. The chosen project is located in the Chinese province of Guizhou and covers a total of 23,700 ha of formerly barren land. The aim of the project is to contribute to climate change mitigation through sequestration of atmospheric CO2 during biomass growth whilst also contributing to local sustainable development, environmental and biodiversity conservation and enhancement of soil quality. All afforestation activities are carried out in collaboration and with full consent of the local village committees and the villagers. The trees planted are predominantly native species such as Masson Pine, China Fir, Cypresses and Pinus Yunnanensis.
