Bleeding The Planet: Period Waste & Sustainable Innovation

​Period products are a daily necessity for millions, yet their environmental impact is often overlooked. This session explores the scale of global period waste, why current solutions fall short, and what it will take to design more sustainable, accessible alternatives. Through an interactive discussion, we’ll examine the intersection of climate, health, and product innovation, and surface new approaches to reducing waste without compromising comfort or choice. Ideal for those interested in climate solutions, consumer products, and overlooked sustainability challenges.
