Sustainability
Caring for you, caring for the planet.
Since resources are limited, we are aware that we must use them wisely and that is why we take care of every step we take on our journey: from raw materials, manufacturing, transportation, distribution to the end user and the lifetime of each product. For us, that means questioning our decisions and asking ourselves every step of the way, "Is this really necessary? Who will be affected by it and when?"
Chemical-free alternatives
Our goal is to protect women's health by choosing materials that are non-toxic and take into account the anatomy of the female body and the sensitivity of the intimate area.
We test and select only medically approved facilities for our production, from cups and discs to menstrual panties . All Femi.eko's products are tested and certified according to the quality we promise you.
All our products are modern solutions for protection during menstruation and other leaks. Protection that does not disturb the natural balance of the intimate area and does not affect the balance of the vaginal flora and the reproductive system, which is a sustainable solution for the health of women, teenagers and even infants.
HAMP antibacterial technology
Femi.Eko's patented technology is based on protective absorbent layers consisting of hemp yarn in combination with organic cotton and other natural textiles. Why do we choose hemp over all other textiles? Because it is biodegradable, good for the body and better for the planet. Hemp is the most sustainable material, from production to use: it restructures the soil, is CO2 negative and does not require so much water to grow. Hemp has a short growing time - only 3 months - and does not require pesticides or other chemical processes for cultivation and production. When worn, it has several properties that benefit the intimate balance: it is absorbent, antibacterial, hypoallergenic, moisture-regulating, odor-resistant, thermo-regulating, breathable, durable, chemical-free, biodegradable and sustainable, and is also called " vegan wool ".
Our production
We choose our partners carefully and constantly look for suppliers with sustainable certifications, while trying to support local production lines as much as possible.
Some of our products are made in Asia, others are made in Europe, and this will always be indicated on the box or on the product itself, so that they are traceable and transparent.
All our production processes are designed and selected to reduce the ecological footprint and energy consumption. We select production facilities that have integrated water purification systems, control their gas emissions and use biomass to produce hot water and heat. Additionally, when we talk about suppliers and partners, we are looking for any renewable energy that uses solar panels and even electric vehicles.
Another important factor is the use of ecological materials that do not pollute the soil, the water and the people who work with them.
We use recycled fabrics in many of our collections to support a reusable cycle of our resources - for example the swimwear collections. Femi.Eko will constantly expand its product range with the aim of meeting all women's needs, but always with a focus on the EKO.logical factor.
Packaging
All our products are packed in FSC boxes and have no plastic coating and are fully recyclable. Our menstrual underwear has a hygienic protection that is biodegradable and we do not use extra labels and inserts. We deliver our packages in biodegradable bags made from corn starch or in FSC cardboard packaging, which is completely recyclable. To avoid unnecessary packaging waste, we have come up with an innovative method of delivering orders with more than 3 pairs of menstrual panties. If you choose our beautiful Naked Box, we deliver your menstrual underwear in bulk, without unnecessary packaging that would have ended up in the bin anyway.
Education
A sustainable world requires individual and collective action in both local and global communities. We believe it is our responsibility to teach people to respect the fragility of our ecosystems and to understand that actions have consequences and can destroy or build a safe place for future generations.
We want to thank everyone who actively participates in the purchase of recyclable products, and we want to remind you that conscious purchases, recycling and even washing in cold water with other clothes or drying on a clothesline can reduce water and energy waste.
Our goal is to raise awareness of this real modern problem by informing people, especially young people, that even small actions can have a positive impact on global warming, pollution and the future of our planet.
CO2 footprint
By simply switching from disposable to reusable items, every woman can massively reduce CO2 production and waste. From raw materials to the life cycle of each product, recyclable products represent a viable alternative for modern society to combat pollution and global warming.
Because it is not enough to just think, but we must act positively, we have entered into a partnership with Trees For the Future to actively contribute to the future of the planet. For every product you buy from Femieko, a tree is planted and a farm is created for women in Africa so they can become independent and support their families.
Period Poverty
The English term "Period Poverty" defines a global problem that affects people who do not have access to the sanitary products, education, facilities or waste management that they need in connection with their menstrual cycle. This can cause mental and physical health problems as well as stigma and social exclusion. Menstrual products are often considered luxury items and taxed accordingly, making them inaccessible to young girls and women of all ages. Some places have passed laws to provide free menstrual products in schools or prisons, but more work needs to be done in this area.
In our efforts to create products that are both affordable and inclusive, we want to put an end to menstrual poverty and menstrual stigma, which is responsible for many women's problems, such as absenteeism from school and work or even self-confidence.
But our work does not stop here. We have partnered with Better Vision for Africa , providing menstrual cups, reusable pads and menstrual underwear for their educational activities on the reproductive system and fighting menstrual poverty in Africa.
