This solution has produced a biodegradable, compostable, eco-friendly sanitary pad from waste banana tree fiber for women throughout India, reducing sanitary pad waste all across the country.
Saathi has helped in providing access to affordable,biodegradable, non-toxic pads made from banana fiber. They also educate their consumers to be more responsible with their health, and are socially responsible in their sourcing, manufacturing, and production methods and producing eco-friendly pads made from locally sourced banana fiber. They provide women with the protection they need with their innovative pad, making sure that all women in India have access to eco-friendly sanitary pads.
With only 12% of Indian women using sanitary pads (the rest use old rags, mud and bark), a staggering 108,000 tons of sanitary pad waste is created annually. This waste will only increase with increase in sanitary pad usage. Saathi presents an innovative solution to the problem with the belief that women deserve the option to use a sanitary pad that meets their needs and protects their environment. Saathi is currently the only company working to take cradle to cradle responsibility for sanitary pads.
Saathi uses non-toxic all-natural ingredients like banana fiber to manufacture high-quality eco-friendly sanitary pads reducing the sanitary pad waste by 108,000 tonnes.
Saathi manufactures eco-friendly sanitary napkins that help women stay healthy and lead better lives.
Saathi sources locally to stimulate the local economy and provide extra income to farmers for their banana stems, bringing about a revolution in the way that agricultural waste is treated.
