Why we should all choose Re-Usable!
It takes on average 600 years to decompose 1 tampon – let that sink in for a minute, 600 YEARS!
Mass-produced menstrual products are disposable and contain plastic and other non-biodegradable materials that are harmful to the environment.
Pads are made of 90% plastic while tampons have at least 6% plastic. This large-scale plastic production releases vast amounts of greenhouse gases, which cause air pollution and global warming.
In addition, the improper disposal of menstrual products (like wrapping them in plastic bags) fills up landfills and takes years to biodegrade.
Some menstrual products are also flushed down the toilet, which could mean that disposable pads and tampons can end up in our seas and washed up on our beaches. This has a detrimental effect on humans, the wildlife and our habitats.
We are super please to be collaborating with the Green School to promote the benefits of our re-usable products and ensure all girls have access to affordable and environmentally friendly period products.
