Kosmotive | KosmoPads : Reusable Menstrual Health, Circular by Design
Disposable sanitary pads are 90% plastic and they take up to 800 years to decompose. Across Africa, millions of girls and women use them every month with no alternative in sight, Kosmotive built the sustainable alternative.
KosmoPads are reusable, washable sanitary pads manufactured in Rwanda each KosmoPad lasts up to 2 years (120 washes), keeping plastic waste out of landfills. Used KosmoPads don't go to waste either: we collect them for repurposing and recycling and hence closing the circular loop completely.
Our Impact in numbers:
🟣 2 million+ KosmoPads distributed
🟣 8+ million people reached
🟣 99% of users report improved quality of life after using KosmoPads
🟣 2+ million girls reached
We don't just sell pads. Through our Community Pick-Up Points, KosmoHealth digital platform, and KosmoPay installment credit, we make menstrual health accessible, affordable, and dignified in Rwanda, DRC, CAR, and Kenya.
This is what a circular economy looks like when it's built for and by African women.
#Vote for #Kosmotive for the #ChangeNow challenge and help us scale this to 6 million girls by 2030.
