Reusable period pads can save almost 3000 disposables from landfills and ocean
Share
A woman will menstruate around four decades of her life and will use somewhere around 9000-1000 period pads or tampons to manage her period. The production of these disposable pads and tampons needs massive amounts of fossil fuel. Fossil fuels produce hazardous air pollutants, such as sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, carbon monoxide, and mercury, that can be harmful to the environment and human health.
Other than fossil fuels, another major impact of disposable period products is that they usually end up in the ocean. People flush tampons and pads, and it ends up in sewers and waterways. This causes the water resources to become polluted and the aquatic animals to get intoxicated.
