How to Dispose of Sanitary Pads Responsibly And Why It Matters.
Share
Improper disposal of sanitary pads contributes to massive amounts of non biodegradable waste. Wrapping pads in plastic bags and throwing them in regular bins leads to environmental pollution and poses a health risk to waste workers.
Biodegradable pads offer a cleaner option as they can decompose naturally. Still it is essential to wrap used pads in a paper bag and clearly label them if possible. In some areas designated menstrual waste bins are available use them when you can.
Responsible disposal is not just an individual act, it is a collective responsibility towards public health and environmental sustainability.
