SE 09 EP 10: Flowing Green? Revolutionising Zero Waste Periods

In our quest for eco-friendly living, one often-overlooked arena is feminine hygiene. Did you know that globally, it is estimated that over 45 billion menstrual products are disposed of every year? That's an astronomical amount of waste, with traditional products contributing significantly to landfills. Look at the statistics from various corners of the world, the magnitude of the issue becomes clear – a staggering environmental toll that demands our attention. But it's not just about the problem; it's also about the solution. Join us as we explore the pressing need for truly biodegradable options in feminine hygiene. We'll unpack why the status quo is no longer acceptable and how a shift towards sustainable, zero-waste alternatives is not just a choice but a responsibility. The time has come for a conversation that goes beyond our beauty routines and touches on the global impact of our choices.

Our guest today is Dr Olivia Anh co-founder of FLUUS who launched the world’s first fully flushable, zero waste period pad at the beginning of the 2023; and have just successfully built the the first high-speed, microplastic free production line in the world (to make truly microplastic free pads accessible to more people).
