Sustainability

“We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children”.

Femi.Eko promotes the idea of a healthy body and a happy planet. This guides us in everything we do, make and say. We develop durable products for comfortable and leak-proof wear.

We strive to improve our business practices by taking care of women’s needs while protecting our planet. We strive to produce less waste and promote a “reduce and reuse” policy, from our packaging to our products.

Care for you, care for the planet

Since resources are finite, we are aware that we should use them wisely and that's why we care for each step we make in our journey: from raw materials, manufacturing, transportation, distribution to even end consumer and after life of each product. For us, this means questioning our decisions and asking ourselves at every step of the way: "Is this really necessary? Who will be impacted by it and when?"

Natural period 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, by letting the natural flow to happen… naturally.

From cups to pads to underwear, we test and select only medically approved facilities for our production. All our products must pass various tests and have certificates of conformity and quality that guarantee you a safe choice when buying with Femi.Eko. All our fabrics come with Eoko-Tex certification, so they are free of harmful chemicals for the skin and the Planet.

All our products are modern solutions for period and other leaks protection that do not disturb the natural balance in the intimate area and do not affect the equilibrium of the vaginal flora and reproductive system, being a healthy solution for the health of women, teenagers and even babies.

HEMP patented technology with high ecological impact

Our patented technology is based on protective layers of absorption consisting of hemp yarn in combination with organic cotton and other natural fabrics. Why we choose hemp over all other fabrics? Because it is biodegradable, good for the body and better for the planet. Hemp is the most sustainable material, from production to wear: it restructures the soil, is CO2 negative and does not require as much water to grow, has short growing times - only 3 months - and does not require pesticides or other chemical processes for cultivation and production. When worn has numerous properties that benefit the intimate balance: it is absorbent, antibacterial, hypoallergenic, moisture regulating, anti-odor, thermoregulating, breathable, durable, chemical-free, biodegradable and sustainable, and is also referred to as "vegan wool." The market for the production of hemp textiles is growing considerably every year and, according to statistics, it’s becoming one of the most important materials of the future (with a significant growth of 37.9% CAGR until 2027*). Major fashion brands are already producing hemp textiles and marketing them as "sustainable" and part of the "green" brand movement.

CONTROLLED PRODUCTION

We carefully select our partners and we are constantly on the lookout for suppliers with sustainable certifications, while trying as much as possible to support local production lines.

Some of our products are produced in Asia, others are produced in Europe, and you will always find it on the box or product itself, being trackable and transparent.

All our production processes are designed and selected to reduce our environmental footprint and energy consumption. We choose production facilities that have integrated water treatment systems, control their exhaust emissions or use biomass to produce hot water. We also look for any reusable energy using solar panels and even electric cars, when talking about suppliers and partners.

Another important factor is the use of organic materials that do not pollute the soil, water and the people who work with it. We use recycled fabrics in many of our collections to support a reusable cycle of our resources - for example, the Swim Collections.

Femi.Eko will constantly expand its product range with the aim of meeting all the needs of women, but always having in mind the EKOlogical factor.

Transportation

We take great care to ensure a sincere communication and strive not only to avoid unnecessary packaging, but also to moderate the consumption of fuel.

Our products are transported primarily by ship or train from our manufacturing center in Asia or by land from Europe to our warehouses in Denmark and Romania. Our products are transported by ship, land or train, rather than by air.

For customer deliveries, we use a combination of land and air freight and we work with companies that set emissions targets.

We offer the option of having the orders delivered to pick-up points rather than directly home, which is a small step in the fight against emissions. In some of the countries where we operate, we also offer free returns for pick-up points.

Packaging

All our products are packed in FSC boxes and have no plastic coating, and are fully recyclable.

Our underwear has a hygienic protection that is biodegradable and we do not use additional labels and inserts.

We deliver our packages in biodegradable bags made of corn starch or in FSC cardboard packaging, which is fully recyclable.

To avoid unnecessary packaging waste, we have come up with an innovative method to deliver orders with more than 3 period underwear. If you choose our beautiful Naked box, we will deliver your period underwear in bulk without you having to get unnecessary packaging that would have ended up in the trash anyway.

CO2 impact

Just by 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, reusable products are a viable alternative for modern society to combat pollution and global warming.

Because it's not enough to just think, but also to act, we have partnered with Trees For the Future to actively contribute to the future of our planet. With every product you buy at Femieko, a tree is planted and a farm is built for women in Africa so they can be independent and feed their families.

EDUCATION

A sustainable world requires individual and collective action in both local and global communities. We see it as 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 would like to thank everyone who actively participates in the purchase of reusable products, and we would like to remind that buying consciously, reusing and even washing in cold water, together with other clothes or line drying can reduce water waste and energy.

Our goal is to raise awareness about 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.

PERIOD POVERTY

Period Poverty defines a global problem that affects people who do not have access to the sanitary products, education, facilities or waste management much needed when managing monthly cycles. These issues 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 unaffordable to many women and teenagers. Some countries have passed laws to provide free products for time in schools or prisons, but more work needs to be done.

By trying to create products that are both affordable and inclusive, we want to end period poverty and menstrual stigma, which is responsible for many female problems such as skipping school and work, or even self-trust.

But our work does not stop here. We have partnered with Better Vision to Africa, providing menstrual cups, reusable pads and period underwear, for their activities of reproductive system education and to fight period poverty in Africa.
