Green Pads
The Green Pads project is a pioneering initiative designed to transform menstrual hygiene through eco-friendly solutions while addressing environmental sustainability. By replacing plastic and chemicals with biodegradable materials like organic cotton, cellulose, wax sheets, and polymer powder, the project offers a sustainable alternative to traditional menstrual products.
The initiative promotes organic cotton farming, which requires less water, reduces pesticide use, and supports carbon sequestration through the natural absorption of CO2 by cotton plants. This not only conserves resources but also mitigates climate change impacts. The use of biodegradable cellulose aligns with circular economy principles, ensuring reduced waste and pollution while emphasizing a sustainable production lifecycle.
Beyond manufacturing, the project focuses on raising awareness about the environmental impact of conventional menstrual products and the benefits of eco-friendly alternatives. Through workshops, campaigns, and digital platforms, it encourages individuals and communities to adopt greener practices, driving innovation in menstrual hygiene.
Green Pads embody a commitment to health, sustainability, and environmental responsibility. By promoting eco-conscious choices, the project reduces the ecological footprint of menstrual products while supporting a shift toward a cleaner and more sustainable future for all.
