For a small company based in the tiny town of Fredonia, WI, Guy & O'Neill, Inc. is mighty big on sustainability. The contract manufacturer/packager is in the process of rolling out its Eco-Choice platform of customizable wet wipe products in innovative, sustainable containers for retail, medical, and industrial customers. Eco-Choice is designed to create sustainable wet wipe solutions by reducing the hydrocarbon footprint of traditional wet wipe design, manufacturing, and packaging.rnEco-Choice reaches upstream as well, where the company and its raw material suppliers employ energy-saving manufacturing/production processes.rnGuy & O'Neill's nonwoven Eco-Choice wipes are made from natural fibers and renewable resources, such as PLA (polylactic acid), viscose, pulp, and/or cotton, as opposed to petroleum-based resources. Liquid formulations focus on using a multistep water purification process that helps reduce the amount of preservatives necessary in the formulations that make wet wipes wet. These formulations use natural ingredients and botanicals that are chlorine-, formaldehyde-, and phosphate-free, with no artificial colors or fragrances.
