Consider Choosing Biodegradable Sanitary Towels

Biodegradable Sanitary Towels: A Boon for Environmental Protection


Assume a woman uses 2 disposable sanitary pads each day during her period. Calculated at an average pad thickness of 0.2 cm, in one day, the sanitary pads used by women in China stack up to the height of 98 Mount Everest peaks. A woman needs about 15,000 sanitary pads in her lifetime.


Sanitary towels are hard to degrade. Harmful components weather through wind and rain, seeping into the soil and damaging it. Currently, the primary disposal method is incineration, which produces dioxins, polluting the atmosphere. Sanitary towels can also enter the sewer with domestic wastewater, blocking pipes and reducing dissolved oxygen levels in water, further deteriorating water quality.


To make sanitary towels whiter, more fragrant, waterproof, convenient, and durable, many harmful chemicals like brighteners, fluorescent agents, artificial fragrances, and deodorizers, polypropylene, and polyethylene are added. These can cause allergies, suppress the immune system, disrupt hormones, and lead to endometriosis in women.


Here's the issue: the plastic applicators in tampons are not recyclable and can take decades to degrade. Sanitary towels are worse, with over 90% made from plastic materials. If buried, these plastic parts can take 500 years to decompose. Furthermore, some menstrual products are not disposed of with trash but are flushed into the sewers, even entering waterways.


As more women become aware of the severe environmental pollution and health impacts of menstrual products, biodegradable sanitary towels have become significantly important.
