EcoFem aims to create social and environmental value through better menstrual product access and thoughtful use of invasive biomass.
EcoFem aims to increase access to affordable menstrual hygiene products designed around the practical needs of women and girls. Product safety, comfort and dependable performance remain development priorities requiring continued validation.
Water hyacinth is a disruptive invasive biomass in many waterways. EcoFem explores an opportunity to transform part of that material into a useful product input while working toward less persistent sanitary waste.
Environmental benefit depends on responsible collection, processing choices and the final material system.
Reliable access to menstrual hygiene products can support girls' comfort and participation in school. EcoFem aims to contribute to that wider goal without making unsupported attendance claims.
A future EcoFem value chain could create opportunities in responsible biomass collection, local production, manufacturing, distribution and community outreach.
The project is being shaped around more responsible material use, local problem-solving and a long-term ambition to reduce environmental burden.
Lifecycle impact will need to be evaluated as the product and manufacturing process mature.
EcoFem's intended impact relates to several United Nations Sustainable Development Goal areas.
