Bioplastic
Now you may be thinking: bio-polymer, isn’t that plastic? You are right, bio-polymer is a bioplastic that ensures that the liners are leak proof. The advantage with bioplastic over traditional plastic is that it is made from renewable raw materials (cornstarch) and that it is compostable. Menstrual products need to be leak proof and hygienically packaged, making it difficult to find a plastic-free alternative. Cups and reusable pads does not work for everyone and we want sustainable menstrual products that suit everyone’s needs. As far as we are concerned, &SISTERS is currently the best alternative on the market. Do you have any suggestions? Let us know!
Organic Cotton
Organic cotton is naturally soft, pH-neutral, breathable and absorbent. The sustainably grown organic cotton is grown without the use of fertilisers, herbicides & pesticides. The cotton is purified with a completely Totally Chlorine Free (TCF) process, without any chlorine or dioxins!
The cotton is Soil Association Certification and Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certified. GOTS is the leading governing body for organic textiles like cotton. GOTS certification ensures the cotton is ethically sourced and made without chemical pesticides, forced labour, child labour, or unfair wages.
Compostable
The &Sisters liners are biodegradable and compostable. Organic cotton liners are considered brown compost (just like paper and cardboard). Brown compost needs more time to biodegrade than green post. To help them break down faster, it is recommended to cut them up with scissors before putting them into the compost. It can take about 18 months to fully decompose.
Packaging
The pads are individually bio-wrapped.
