Sananitos, sustainable packaging. Plus fun!

5 October 2016 Packaging

Sustainability is not at odds with fun! Drasanvi, a Spanish company and leader in the natural dietary supplements market, uses the PEFC label on the packaging of many of their products.

Prominent among these is Sananitos, their line of children’s syrups.These syrups, all made from natural plants, are specially designed to maximize active principles that fight and prevent the most common childhood ailments: poor sleep, poor appetite, tummy aches, poor immune system, parasites, etc.

They are easy to take and have a fruity flavor that kids love. Nonetheless, the funniest feature for children is the surprise that every box contains interactive games, stories, cutout pets and even healthy tips.

Why PEFC?

“At Drasanvi, we are aware that our consumers stand out for their exigencies, demanding manufacturing excellence and efficiency,” said Óscar López, President of the company.

“They are also increasingly aware and concerned about both the natural source of the ingredients and sustainable packaging alternatives that help reduce the impact on the environment,” explains Mr. López.

“At Drasanvi, we continuously work to meet these expectations, and the PEFC label is an example of our commitment to preserving the environment and minimizing the environmental impact,” he continued.

“The fact that our packages are made of cardboard from sustainably managed forests adds value to our products, is coherent with our “natural” approach, and is increasingly valued by our customers,” adds the President.

Therefore, Drasanvi always requires its printing and packaging providers to deliver materials from responsibly-managed forests, as part of Drasanvi’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).
