Anandi
Anandi is India’s first and only government of India lab-certified fully compostable pad. The pad can be disposed of by burying in a pit and waiting for the compounds to decompose naturally. Due to the natural raw materials used to make the pad, this process is safe, easy and quick. They become part of the soil and manure within three to six months in composting conditions. The organic cotton top layer comes with a unique wetness-reducing treatment and has a plant-based Bio-SAP Sheet for high absorbency. One pack of eight compostable Anandi pads retail at R40. The profit is paid as commission to
the women producing and distributing the pads.
