The problem with periods
for people and planet.
Plastic in plain sight
Conventional period pads contain up to 90% plastic, the UK alone flush away over two billion period products a year. Grace & Green came to be after our Founder, whilst working in water and sanitation, saw the devastation period waste was causing to our oceans and waterways.
The need for dignity
1 in 8 people are struggling to afford period products. Lack of products can cause many people to miss work, school and live in fear of their periods. The gender gap starts here.
Knowledge is power
Believe it or not, period education for all only became mandatory in UK schools in 2020. Lack of education leads to stigma but knowledge is power. The power to make informed decisions about our own bodies.
Time for transparency
Many brands don't exactly shout about the ingredients they use. This means plastics, fragrances and even pesticides lurking in your pads and tampons, irritating sensitive skin and potentially being absorbed into the bloodstream and disrupting your hormones.
We are here to break the cycle of period waste and end stigma. Our pads and tampons are made from 100% organic cotton and bamboo, making them free from pesticides, dyes, chlorine bleaches, and other toxic chemicals. All of our products are certified organic, reusable or biodegradable. Innovation is taking us even further; we constantly look for new ways to work with what’s available to us, as provided by nature.
Together we have saved over 6 million potentially plastic-filled period products from oceans and landfill.

Dignity for all.
Everyone deserves access to safe, sustainable period products, without compromise. Here is how we show up for every body:
- Free period products - Through our Period Dignity scheme, we tirelessly advocate for freely available period products in public spaces because meeting basic needs shouldn't be a privilege.
- Breaking down barriers - From tackling period myths to navigating menopause with confidence, we're here to create a space where open dialogue thrives. Our content and educational resources are free and open to everyone, regardless of background or identity.
- Tackling period poverty - We work in partnership with not-for-profits to donate our products to local and global initiatives, bringing dignity to the people who need it the most. In 2022, we donated over 700,000 period products to charitable organisations.
- Inclusion - We create period care that is unapologetically inclusive, we use gender-neutral language and don’t just talk to teenagers, eradicating barriers to essential care and information. We invite everyone into the conversation because we all need to be part of change.
