What do you mean by "plastic-free"?
What do you mean by "plastic-free"?
When we say plastic-free, we mean free from petroleum-based plastics like PE or PP.
In our pads and liners we use a plant-based biopolymer made from cornstarch (PLA), which is compostable and biodegradable (certified to EN 13432 and ASTM standards), non-toxic in both production and end of life, and completely biobased.
While PLA is technically a polymer, it is not petroleum-derived and is accepted under leading ecological standards such as GOTS.
We clearly disclose its use and independently validate all our claims to ensure transparency and compliance with the most rigorous sustainability standards.
