Why you should choose organic period products for your workplace.
Every day in the UK, an estimated 2.5 million tampons and 1.4 million period pads are flushed down the toilet. This is an alarming amount when you consider that these end up in our oceans and waterways damaging wildlife, polluting our planet and even negatively affecting our health.
Period products create a hidden plastic problem. Traditional pads and tampons can contain up to 90% plastic. With employees using an average of 11,000 disposable products in their lifetime, that's a staggering amount of plastic waste.
There's a better way. We all want our employees to feel comfortable and confident during their periods. But did you know offering organic period care products can be a win-win for everyone?
Benefits of Organic Period Products:
-
Employee Wellbeing: Certified organic products are free from potentially harmful chemicals found in conventional options. This can reduce irritation and promote overall vaginal health. Organic cotton and bamboo are also softer and more breathable, leading to a more comfortable period experience for your team.
-
Environmental Impact: By offering organic options, you're helping employees ditch disposable products that can take hundreds of years to decompose. Many organic products are even compostable!
-
Supporting Sustainable Practices: Organic cotton farming avoids harsh chemicals and pesticides, protecting farmers and the environment. This creates healthier communities and preserves land for future generations.
A Small Change, Big Impact
Imagine the positive impact your company could have by offering organic period care products. It's a small change that shows you care about your employees' health, wellbeing, and the planet.
