The news from Bolzano was shocking: two very premature newborns lost their lives because of a bacterium found in the nozzles and soap dispensers used to sterilize bottles and teats. A tragedy that leaves us speechless, reminding us of a truth often underestimated: what may appear as a harmless microorganism for most people can become a deadly threat for others.

In hospitals, schools, communities… every shared environment can become a place of possible contagion. It is in the most ordinary situations—a dispenser, a wipe, an object touched by many—that risks are hidden. And when the most fragile are involved—children, the elderly, or immunocompromised people—even the smallest lack of attention can turn into a tragedy.

Prevention is never enough

We often think that “a bit of paper” is enough to ensure hygiene. Paper has always been associated with cleanliness. But is that really true?
The truth is that paper, by itself, is not sterile: if exposed to humid or contaminated environments, it can itself become a carrier of bacteria. This is where true innovation makes the difference…

Eco Silver Paper®: paper that protects

Eco Silver Paper® goes beyond the traditional concept of hygiene. Its glue contains silver ions: a natural antibacterial agent that inhibits the growth of microorganisms. In this way, paper is no longer just a functional support, but becomes part of prevention itself.

Imagine a hospital, a canteen, a school: places where life happens every day, but where many people’s defenses are weaker. Having an extra ally—even in a simple paper towel—can make the difference when drying hands after washing or sanitizing a surface.

Because every action matters

The case in Bolzano reminds us that safety can never be taken for granted. We cannot lower our guard, because behind an apparently ordinary object an invisible risk may be hiding. Choosing Eco Silver Paper® means choosing responsibility, care, and attention for those who are most vulnerable. Because hygiene is not a detail: it is a concrete form of protection, a way to say that the health of those we love always comes first!
