The Journey From Banana Fibre To Sanitary Pad

Plasic pollution is having a negative impact in our society today.
According to ourworldindata.org, by 2015, the world had produced 7.8 billion tonnes of plastic — more than one tonne of plastic for every person alive today.

According to the UNEP, some 11 million tonnes of plastic waste flow annually into our oceans. This may triple by 2040. A study by Natracare shows that 36kg pack of sanitary pads contains the equivalent of plastic as 5 plastic bags

Period poverty

Globally, 2.3 billion people live without basic sanitation services; among these people are women and girls who lack access to safe and affordable sanitary products. Period poverty affects an estimated 500 million girls and women worldwide. And this is more acute in Sub-Saharan Africa, where we come from. In Nigeria, for example, 37% of menstruators cannot afford menstrual products, and, in many cases, this means that they cannot go to school or carry out their daily activities.

Plastic Wastes in Oceans

An estimated 8 million tonnes of plastic enters our oceans every year. There are 5.25 trillion pieces of plastic waste estimated to be in our oceans. 269,000 tonnes float, 4 billion microfibers per km² dwell below the surface.

Sanitary Pads Waste

90% of conventional pads are made of plastics. The average person uses and throws away 200kg of menstrual products in their lifetime. These sanitary pads takes an estimated time of up to 500 years to degrade.
