Disposable menstrual products have a significant environmental impact, with the average menstruator generating around 330 pounds of waste in their lifetime. A single pad takes approximately 500 years to decompose, and the U.S. alone contributes to 12 billion pads and 7 billion tampons discarded annually, leading to massive plastic waste. This waste harms marine life, contaminates food chains, and adds to sewer pollution. Heralogie aims to reduce this impact by using sustainable materials like biodegradable Kraft paper, recycled packaging, and Tencel fabric. Though not entirely eco-friendly, their efforts contribute to long-term environmental benefits.
