Waste Credentials
It can be reused for many years to avoid sanitary waste ending up in a landfill or as pollution. Prevents the disposal of approximately 300 tampons and pads per year, and over 10,000 in a lifetime. At the end of its life (likely to be many years) the cup will need to be disposed of in a landfill until silicone recycling is available, however, the waste it has avoided will be well worth it!
