About the offering

Conventional sanitary pads contain up to 90% plastic and remain unchanged in the landfill for around 600 years after disposal Around 50% of the world’s population menstruates. The average woman uses approximately 11,000 disposable pads or tampons in her lifetime, which results in around 300 pounds of feminine hygiene related waste per woman. It really does add up. Planet or plastic? Around 20 billion sanitary napkins, tampons and applicators are dumped into North American landfills every year. Plastic waste ends up in a landfill or, even worse in the oceans, rivers and beaches. Banana plantation agro-waste. Solution - Sparkle: natural sanitary pads made from sustainable plant-based ingredients. We've created the world's first all-natural sanitary napkin made with a combination of bamboo fiber, banana fiber, and corn starch that can biodegrade around 6 months after disposal. With sustainable and plastic-free products, Sparkle aims to reduce plastic pollution and support a circular economy.
