As the leading voice for the absorbent hygiene products industry in North America, the Center for Baby and Adult Hygiene Products (BAHP) advances the safe manufacture, product stewardship and consumer accessibility of period products, disposable diapers and adult incontinence products.
Representing companies across the value chain, we proactively engage with Congress, state policymakers, regulatory agencies such as the Federal Drug Administration and Consumer Product Safety Commission, media, consumers and other public stakeholders. Our member committees are central to the organization’s advocacy efforts and consumer education campaigns.
With in-depth knowledge surrounding issues specific to absorbent hygiene products, BAHP serves as the industry expert for lawmakers, key stakeholders and consumers.
BAHP advocates on behalf of the absorbent hygiene products industry on key issues impacting the value chain in North America.
Consistent and clear labeling requirements are important for consumer trust and compliance by product manufacturers. BAHP is actively engaging in dialogue with policymakers to ensure product ingredients are communicated clearly to consumers in a way that enables businesses to implement and continue to provide these essential products.
Product and ingredient safety is a top priority for all BAHP member companies. BAHP works with members across the value chain to inform the public, lawmakers and other stakeholders about the industry’s commitment to safety, quality and innovation.
Families across the nation have limited access to products such as period care and baby diapers, as studies continue to demonstrate. BAHP supports the accessibility, affordability and education to ensure people have fair access to these essential products.
BAHP serves as a platform where companies across the value chain can connect and collaborate on issues affecting product manufacturers and materials suppliers. BAHP works to forge a consensus and find common ground, helping the entire industry – from raw material to final product – strengthen the industry voice.
In both regulation and consumer attitudes, there has been a distinct shift towards increased demand for more sustainable products. Through our task force, we discuss issues surrounding product disposal and necessary infrastructure solutions. We continually monitor and update our members on public policy as it relates to sustainability and how it may affect members’ future product stewardship and innovative technologies.
During a time of rapid change, it is more important than ever that companies are aware of current regulations and how they may change in the future. BAHP offers compliance resources and tools for members to ensure they are operating under the latest guidelines.
