Saathi Eco-Friendly Sanitary Napkins
Menstrual hygiene in India has recently made headlines and many companies are coming out with products they claim to be eco-friendly, biodegradable and better for your body. But how accurate these claims are remains to be seen – Green The Red reached out to brands such as Heyday, Saathi, Carmesi and Anandi pads asking if their products were actually eco-friendly.
Their 100% biodegradable and compostable non-woven fabric made of banana fiber ensures comfortable wear for their sanitary pads, making sure that rash is kept to a minimum and creating products which benefit both people and planet alike. Their goal is to develop hygiene products which support sustainable lifestyles while being kind to both people and nature alike.
Banana Fiber Pads provide an environmentally-friendly alternative to commercial plastic and cellulose gel pads that take 600 years to degrade and are often burned, emitting carbon dioxide and toxic fumes into the atmosphere. Available in various sizes and available for purchase on their website, these reusable pads make an excellent addition to anyone’s personal hygiene regimen.
Saathi Biodegradable Sanitary Napkins
Saathi began with a mission of creating fully eco-friendly, biodegradable sanitary pads. Their products use banana fiber and other natural materials that benefit women’s health and the environment – unlike conventional disposable pads that end up in landfills, fields or water bodies harming the planet. Saathi was founded by three Massachusetts Institute of Technology graduates including Kristin Kagetsu who has experience commercializing sustainable natural dye crayons as well as working directly with artisans in Uttarakhand, India.
Saathi utilizes agricultural waste from local farmers to produce their raw material, employs an all-women team at their factory, and works with non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to distribute it across urban and rural women. Their 100% biodegradable and compostable products made with banana fiber are gentle on both skin and Mother Earth – disappearing quickly upon disposal. Urban women from low income families receive subsidised pads at discounted rates.
