From nappies to menstrual items, finding the best deal for our health, wallet and planet can be a headache, but the #EUEcolabel has our back: this summer, the EU's official #sustainability label enhanced its hygiene products range, now also including reusable menstrual cups.

Adding menstrual cups is a game-changer, because disposable menstrual items are a major source of plastic pollution and cost up to €4,500 over a lifetime - a price that 1/5 in the EU cannot afford.

Besides adding a reusable option which is more sustainable and affordable in the long run, the new criteria also set higher standards for all certified hygiene products, including:
✅less hazardous substances
✅less pollution
✅less waste
✅lower energy consumption
✅sustainable sourcing of materials
✅fairer labour condition
