The entire packaging, including the outer cover and disposable bags, is biodegradable. They offer exceptional performance in absorption, comfort, and leakage protection, comparable to regular sanitary pads. Moreover, these pads are 100% chemical-free and vegan, providing a safe and sustainable alternative. PLA, derived from renewable resources like corn starch or sugarcane, is a biodegradable and compostable polymer, exemplifying Niine’s commitment to reducing reliance on non-renewable resources. With the prestigious CIPET (Central Institute of Plastics Engineering & Technology) certification, Niine sets a new industry standard, emphasising its dedication to environmental responsibility and innovation. Present at the unveiling ceremony were Niine’s Founder Amar Tulsiyan, Femina Miss India World 2023 - Nandini Gupta, Femina Miss India 2023 - 1st Runner-up: Shreya Poonja, Femina Miss India 2023 - 2nd Runner-Up: Thounaojam Strela Luwang.
India faces a staggering challenge with the disposal of approximately 1.021 billion soiled disposable sanitary napkins every month. These pads are heavily composed of plastic and take an alarming 500- 800 years to decompose fully. Improper disposal methods, including burning, flushing down toilets, or leaving them in exposed landfills, not only pose a severe threat to the environment but also endanger the health of sanitation workers. In response to this critical issue, Niine has taken a significant step by introducing one of the most environmentally friendly sanitary napkins. These napkins are crafted using a combination of ecofriendly materials such as wood pulp, bio-based resins and oils, and PLA-based materials. They adhere to the highest standards of biodegradability, certified by renowned institutions like CIPET and ISO.
Notably, Niine’s pads exhibit enhanced compostability, decomposing effectively even in underground environments without requiring specific conditions like exposure to sunlight or air. By offering a sustainable solution, Niine aims to mitigate the adverse impact of conventional sanitary napkin waste, ensuring a healthier environment for all.
