Is Band-Aid sustainable?
We do not yet score enough Band-Aid products to give the brand a sustainability rating. Kenvue has corporate targets for plastic reduction by 2030, but Band-Aid brand has no specific, measurable pledges.
We read sustainability as verifiable practice, not marketing: third-party certification, packaging design, sourcing disclosure and published, dated targets. Claims without evidence score as unverified.

How to check this yourself
Sustainability claims are only as good as the evidence behind them. Before you buy:
- Prefer independent certifications with a public register (B Corp, Fair Trade, FSC, GOTS, USDA Organic) over self-declared badges.
- Check whether the claim covers the whole product or one ingredient, and whether packaging is genuinely recyclable where you live.
- Look for dated, measurable targets and progress reports rather than open-ended pledges.
