Environmental Impact of Disposable Sanitary Pads!
Over 12 billion disposable sanitary pads are used annually in India, most of which contain plastic and take 500-800 years to decompose. Lack of proper disposal systems leads to landfill overflow, open burning, and water pollution, harming both human health and the environment.
