  • 57. Product Safety: The Value of Voluntary Guidelines with Luminita Barbu

    57. Product Safety: The Value of Voluntary Guidelines with Luminita Barbu
    Jul 31 2023
    Over the last few years, consumers have become increasingly interested in the safety of products. But they are not alone in their concern. Our industry strives to provide products that can be used with confidence. Governmental bodies create laws and directives to help ensure shoppers are protected from bad actors. To get insights into the current climate around standards and directives, Host Jack Hughes speaks with Luminita Barbu, Regulatory Affairs Director at EDANA. Together they explore the European Union’s rules and the industry’s actions to protect the health of product users. Though much of the conversation focuses on the EU, it offers insight into what may soon come to other regions of the globe. The EU’s General Product Safety Directive (GPSD)As Luminita explains, the GPSD applies to product categories that do not have specific directives associated with them. Through the GPSD, all products are regulated in regards to product safety and consumer health. However, quality standards may not always be clear as to how they are best applied to any given industry. This leaves a critical need that, in some cases, is filled by organisations within the industry itself.The synergy of regulations and voluntary guidelinesTrade associations bring together industry players seeking to comply in the best way possible and promote safety. They can be more agile, helping manufacturers, suppliers, and others to establish and implement changes. This results in improved flexibility for adapting to innovations and evolving information. The EDANA Stewardship ProgramLuminita describes EDANA as serving the absorbent hygiene industry in several ways. It can:Assist with providing valuable information to those crafting regulations Help to define and promote best practices on consumer safety, substances of interest, sustainability, and fair tradeCreate standards for raw materials, testing protocols, and supplier conductMake recommendations regarding communications with consumers in a way that is honest, productive, and accessibleOutline of the Episode[04:28] Regulations affecting the absorbent hygiene industry[08:00] Absorbent hygiene articles have a long history of safety[12:33] The General Product Safety Directive[14:36] Building trust with the consumer[17:00] Safety is achieved with a synergy of mandatory regulation and voluntary standards[19:20] Ensuring safety is the role of the entire supply chain[24:30] The advantages of voluntary guidelines, and what makes them an effective tool[27:09] What absorbent hygiene can learn from other industriesResourcesYou can find Luminita Barbu on LinkedIn or leave them a message through our email at hygiene@bostik.com.

  • 56. What Incontinence Users Want from Their Products with Alan Cottenden

    56. What Incontinence Users Want from Their Products with Alan Cottenden
    Jul 10 2023
    Daily management of incontinence can be complicated. Many sufferers rely on absorbent hygiene products to cope with their condition. Although their experiences vary widely, some needs (leak protection, discretion, and affordability, etc.) are fairly common. How well these are met can make or break the product users’ trust in a brand forever.So how can producers better serve consumers? One simple approach is to talk to product users. In this episode of ‘Attached to Hygiene’, host Jack Hughes revisits an earlier discussion featuring guest moderator Alan Cottenden who spoke with a user panel from Europe. As Emeritus Professor of Incontinence Technology at University College London, Alan has extensive expertise with incontinence products and user experience. Panellists Tonneke, Chris, and Rebecca relate how current market products help them live more active lives. They also explore what innovations they hope to see in the future from the market.Managing incontinence with absorbent hygiene productsIncontinence affects an individual's daily life on many levels and to differing degrees. For some, it is just a small ‘oops’ during a sneeze or other physical activity. For others, it can be a sudden and complete release of the bladder or bowels. To live as normally as possible, users rely on a product's effectiveness for absorption, odour control, and more. Methods for coping are many, from choosing particular clothes (and bringing spares), to planning their agendas around bathroom breaks. The absorbent hygiene products they use are a key aspect of their planning. Some shift between as many as 5 or 6 different articles depending on planned activities. And, whilst users appreciate recent product improvements, each has a wish list that would make living with incontinence just a bit easier.Outline of the Episode[04:49] Understanding user experience helps you address their concerns[06:03] Introduction of panellists and their conditions[12:57] Incontinence of any type can limit options or make living a full life difficult[16:38] Secrecy, discretion, and the reactions of others to incontinence[22:51] The panellists’ experiences … Do current products meet their needs?[29:14] Skin health and managing issues caused by incontinence[33:05] Changes that would improve user experience with incontinence products[39:00] Why consumers may mix and match various product types [43:42] Users want more sustainable products, but they can’t sacrifice performance or afford expensive solutions[49:51] The impact of a product’s appearance on discretion and attitude ResourcesYou can find Alan on LinkedIn.
