Many consumers have issues with irritation or rashes from the plastics / chemicals in regular pads. The average conventional sanitary pad contains 3.4g of plastic.
This means that over her lifetime, the average woman will generate 23kg of plastic from sanitary pads alone. In 2016, there were 150,000 tons of sanitary pad waste in India alone. When disposed of, Banana Pads degrade within six months
– That is 1200 times faster than plastic pads!….. Yes, i know WOW!
Since Banana pads don’t contain chemicals, they provide a rash and irritation free experience.
How does banana fiber compare to other natural fiber?
Banana pads are made with 100% banana fiber because of its highly absorbent properties, and the environmental and social benefits of its supply chain.
Banana fiber comes from the stem of the banana tree, which after harvesting is normally discarded. Banana instead buys the stems from collectives of local farmers. After we extract the fiber, the residue left over can be fermented and used by farmers as an organic fertilizer. Most plastic sanitary pads use chlorine-bleached wood pulp as an absorbent, while most other eco-friendly pads use cotton.
Banana fiber uses six times less water per ton produced than cotton, and 10 times less fertilizers. Most importantly, since bananas are an existing food crop, no extra land is being taken up by the production of this fiber
There are already 9 million hectares dedicated to banana farming worldwide. By trailblazing the use of banana fiber as a consumer product raw material, Banana hopes to champion its expanded use.
Everything we need to nourish our bodies can be found in nature!
