Products

Biodegradable Sanitary Pads Coming Soon

Biodegradable pads made using crop stubble.
Only about 30% of women in India currently use menstrual products.

Conventional plastic pads take ~800 years to degrade, and stubble burning causes severe air pollution.

We are turning stubble into safe, compostable pads to improve hygiene and reduce environmental harm.

Bulk orders & partnerships welcome.
