Every day hundreds of tons of waste feed newly created landfills around the world. In theory we understand how terrible the consequences will be. In practice, however, we do little about it. Still only a handful of us sort our waste and try to be eco-friendly. It’s worth keeping in mind what happens to products that no longer serve us – where they end up and how even ordinary, seemingly harmless pads can threaten us!
We’re being buried in… waste
When buying new products we rarely think about how their production affected our planet and what will happen to them when we’ve used them up. Worn clothes, broken household appliances, but also used everyday items can pose a real threat to our environment and, above all, to ourselves. A perfect example are pads – few of us know how chemical their composition can be. Not only do we often poison ourselves by choice, we also contribute to environmental degradation. The cotton used in most popular pads and tampons is grown with huge amounts of pesticides, which devastates the environment and harms the health of the people working on the crops.
The EU says NO
Every day the amount of waste grows, and the seas and oceans are drowning in plastic. Interestingly, a very large part of this waste is made up of pads and tampons. Under Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), the European Commission recommends charging producers the costs of disposing of products such as pads, balloons, plastic cups or snack packaging. However, in the case of personal hygiene products, manufacturers warned that such costs would be passed on to consumers.
What can we do?
Since popular and widely available pads and tampons can be hazardous to the environment and to ourselves, we must start taking action. That doesn’t mean giving up pads entirely. It’s enough to choose products made from organic cotton grown naturally, without chemical additives. Trusted certifications help pick pads that certainly don’t cause allergies and pose no threat to health or the environment. With these kinds of products we protect ourselves and our planet, because they are made from biodegradable materials. That’s why they decompose much faster – in just 3 months! Whereas the plastic ones take up to xxxx years!
