Care for your wound and care for the world.

Nexcare™ Duo Fabric Bandages offer all-day hold and pain-free removal. 3M has been manufacturing bandages for decades, but did you ever think about the processes and materials used to make your bandages?

At 3M, we strive to consider sustainability not only when picking raw materials for a product, but also in the manufacturing processes and packaging materials we choose. That’s why Nexcare™ Duo Fabric Bandages are manufactured with a solvent-less adhesive that offers better durability and flexibility than our other silicone adhesive bandages. We have also combined some of our manufacturing locations, reducing the need for transportation and the associated emissions between facilities.

The primary packaging is a recyclable carton, and we have also developed an envelope-style package option. The envelope-style option reduces the package volume/bandage by 86.2% as compared to the carton, so we are “shipping less air.”

The development of a shortened, more efficient supply chain, utilization of a solvent-less adhesive, and creation of a lower impact packaging option are all part of the Nexcare™ Brand team’s quest to be good stewards of the environment.
