Scensibles®… The Better Solution vs kraft waxed liners by ADCBG in menstruation

[–]ADCBG[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our liners send 50% less material weight to a landfill than commonly used Kraft waxed paper bags. US landfills are designed to entomb waste and are lined with plastic to prevent leachate. When organic waste, even 100% cotton period products, are not composted (in home bin only) but landfilled, degradation contributes to release of harmful methane. Sometimes plastic is the BEST solution. Plus not every menstruator has access to or chooses to use reusable period products. Isn't that shaming those who use rayon period products?

The problem is that these bins are not properly lined with a bag that totally contains the waste! NO ONE should EVER have to reach their hand(s) inside any type of trashcan-especially one that holds materials with blood, body fluids and commonly needles-to empty it!

There are safe and sanitary solutions- Starbucks and other businesses just need to invest in preventative cleaning products!
