Heavy Flow Bundle

Yes! joni pads do not contain plastic made from petroleum, which is the standard plastic found in mainstream pads. Instead, joni's protective layer is a plastic made from compostable bioplastic, which is plant based (made from cornstarch). We also use this material as a wrapper.

joni tampons are also plastic free since they do not use an applicator and each is wrapped in a film comprised of compostable cellulose.

Ingredients: Eco-Cert bamboo, non-GMO cornstarch, FSC-certified wood pulp, cellulose BPI-compostable polymer, plant-based SAP, PLA & PBAT, food-grade adhesive.

joni products are also OEKO-TEX STeP tested and certfied free from harmful chemicals and fragrances, and that joni complies with demanding environmental protection and social responsibility requirements. joni is vegan friendly and never tests on animals.

We use ethically sourced FSC-certified bamboo in our pads because it’s one of the most sustainable plants on earth. Bamboo grows in the wild without requiring any interference and is naturally anti-bacterial and so doesn’t require any pesticides. Additionally, bamboo consumes 10x less water to grow, has zero bi-product waste, and is 3x softer than organic cotton. We convert bamboo into fibres using the “OEKO-TEX standard 100” certified closed-loop process to have the least possible impact on the environment and to ensure that joni pads are completely free of any harmful chemicals.

joni pads are on average 92% biodegradable in 12 months under standard compost conditions and do not use conventional plastic that takes over 300 years to break down & our wrappers are 100% certified compostable.Conventional pads use the equivalent of 4 plastic bags. That adds up! joni pads offer a sustainable disposable solution.joni pads have SAP and food-grade non-toxic adhesives in them, which takes longer to biodegrade in standard conditions.

We are actively working towards making period products 100% biodegradable as part of our #progressnotperfection value.

Under ideal conditions, joni pads and tampons degrade within 12 months vs the decades or centuries it can take for plastic products to break down. While pads and tampons cannot generally go into municipal composts, they can be cut up and placed in some home composters. Otherwise, joni period care products can be thrown into your regular garbage where they will be taken to the landfill to decompose. As most landfills are compacted and airtight, even biodegradable period care may not break down as expected under ideal conditions. However, since our pads use bioplastics and not petroleum-based plastics, they won’t leave any microplastics or off-gasses behind—like conventional plastic pads may do. Note: tampons should never be flushed down the toilet.
