Single-use menstrual products contribute to a growing environmental crisis, with billions of plastic-based pads and tampons polluting landfills and oceans. Beyond waste, these products contain harmful chemicals and pose challenges in disposal and incineration. While governments focus on accessibility, sustainability remains a concern. The rise of eco-friendly alternatives, such as menstrual cups and biodegradable products, offers a solution, but affordability and menstrual stigma remain barriers. Awareness, education, and policy interventions are essential to drive sustainable menstrual care.
