Let's head toward a green approach

Expanding material horizons: Enabling sustainable alternatives in disposable hygiene

Bamboo, eucalyptus, banana, and cotton are reshaping the global landscape of sustainable raw materials. At GDM, we support this shift by designing converting and packaging solutions that can be adapted to process a broad spectrum of fibers.

These alternative materials offer a more sustainable path forward—delivering reduced environmental impact while meeting the evolving needs of the disposable hygiene market. This is the time to embrace responsible choices without compromising performance, together.

Redefining Packaging: Innovative materials for sustainable hygiene packaging

As the global hygiene industry shifts toward more sustainable packaging solutions, GDM continues to lead with forward-thinking technologies that support green packaging alternatives.

Our packaging solutions are engineered to process a range of materials — from thinner polymers to bio-based and recyclable options — reducing environmental impact without compromising quality.

We enable our partners to make informed transitions to sustainable packaging through continuous innovation and testing

Some of our sustainable packaging solutions include:

Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE)
We manufacture packaging using thinner LDPE films—35 µm instead of the standard 50 µm—resulting in:
- Up to 30% less virgin PE per bag
- Up to 25% reduction in material costs
Green Polymers
We’re actively testing packaging materials derived from 100% renewable, non-oil-based resources, like starch-based polymers, helping reduce reliance on fossil-based plastics.
Post Consumer Resin (PCR)
By incorporating up to 20% PCR, our packaging supports a low-carbon, circular economy, giving new life to recycled plastics.
Paper Bags
Already successfully tested on GDM machines, paper-based packaging offers a strong alternative to plastic, further minimizing environmental footprint.

From raw material to final bag, GDM supports the evolution of sustainable hygiene manufacturing through adaptable, responsible, and future-ready packaging technologies.
