Why Reusables?
Disposable period products, such as tampons and pads, can have a significant impact on the environment. One of the main issues is the amount of waste these products generate. According to estimates, billions of pads, tampons, and applicators are discarded each year, and they can take hundreds of years to degrade in landfills. Additionally, many of these products are not biodegradable, so they will not break down at all.
Another issue is the number of resources used to produce these products. The production of disposable menstrual products requires the use of natural resources, such as wood and oil, and generates greenhouse gas emissions. Moreover, it also requires energy to manufacture and transport these products, which contributes to the carbon footprint of these products.
Furthermore, disposable menstrual products can also pollute the oceans, as they can be washed out to sea through sewage systems, and their plastic components take a long time to degrade, becoming microplastics that can harm aquatic life.
All in all, disposable menstrual products can negatively impact the environment, and it's important to consider more sustainable options, such as reusable period pads or period underwear.
