“After spending over a decade in the water and sanitation sector and having witnessed first-hand how conventional period products impact our water systems and oceans, I knew that I had to do something to help solve this problem.

“We believe that access to safe and sustainable period products is a basic right and it’s why ethics and equal access are at the heart of all we do.

“Grace & Green is more than just ethical products, we work to tackle period poverty and stigma on a daily basis, advocating for free period products in all public spaces. The majority of the company is also owned by the people who make our vision a reality everyday. Becoming the highest scoring B Corp period brand in the UK confirms and celebrates this commitment.”

Conventional period care brands have up to 90% plastic in their products and use raw materials that are grown with pesticides, treated with bleach and often have added fragrances. Grace & Green have the highest rating of any disposable period brand for positive environmental impact, with their products being created from 100% organic-certified cotton and bamboo that is biodegradable and free from any synthetic chemicals.
