The Hidden Environmental Cost of Traditional Period Products: Why Your Choice Matters
Have you ever wondered where your disposable period products end up? The answer might surprise – and concern – you. Today, we're pulling back the curtain on the environmental impact of traditional period products and exploring how making one simple switch can create a wave of positive change.
The Shocking Statistics
Let's start with some eye-opening facts:
- Over 200,000 tonnes of period product waste is generated annually in Europe alone
- A single conventional pad contains as much plastic as 4 plastic bags
- The average person uses 11,000 disposable period products in their lifetime
- These products take centuries to decompose, leaving microplastics in our oceans and soil
Beyond the Landfill: The Hidden Costs
The environmental impact goes far beyond waste:

Traditional period products require:
