The awareness people have towards the environment pollution resulting from use of normal sanitary napkins has encouraged production eco-friendly napkins. Modern ones are largely plastic-wired constructed with superabsorbent polymers as their major components, which take roughly 500 years to degrade. This presents a environmental concern, seeing that each woman will about 11,000 pads in lifetime and these bound landfill. As remedy biodegradable been developed using banana fiber, bamboo, polylactic acid derived cornstarch. current paper seeks establish possibility environmentally friendly products special emphasis on cost issues impact they would environment. Low cost, high biodegradability, absorbency, tensile strength, for fiber development region pointed out. outcome terms sheets well incorporation into Sanitary Napkin were encouraging respect antibacterial activity biodegradability. tests proved new disintegrate much more quickly than plastic-based products, matter months, contrary centuries it plastic decompose. is reason why napkin conventional price still relatively high; however, measures procuring locally constantly improving material processing manage down works. research adds reduce degradation, through alternative provision safe affordable, hygienic menstrual solutions where there few non-existent. Such if further marketed large scale could be made available sustainable all over world.
