500 Years vs. 90 Days — What’s Your Pad’s Legacy?

The average disposable sanitary pad takes over 500 years to decompose—longer than a plastic bottle, longer than a car. It’s a fact that few talk about, but every pad we use today will outlive us by centuries.

Modal changes that.
Our plant-based pads fully return to the earth in just 90 days, leaving behind nothing but clean soil. That’s the difference between pollution... and regeneration.

From Fiber to Forest: Redesigning the Entire Lifecycle

We didn’t just stop at the pad. Every layer of the Modal system is designed to reduce environmental impact.

  • Packaging from sugarcane pulp, not plastic—proven to reduce carbon emissions by 72%, based on third-party LCA reports.

  • Sourced from our certified organic eucalyptus forests, we plant 5,000 trees every quarter in the Amazon to actively restore biodiversity where it’s most threatened.

We're not just sustainable—we're restorative.


5 Steps to a Zero-Waste Period

Want to make your menstrual care routine truly earth-friendly? Here’s a simple, effective toolkit:

  1. 🌿 Switch to biodegradable pads (Modal SilkTech series)

  2. 🧺 Use a washable organic cotton pad bag

  3. 🧴 Opt for natural, fragrance-free intimate washes

  4. 🔁 Reuse sugarcane packaging for storage or compost it

  5. 📦 Subscribe in bulk to reduce shipping carbon footprint

Pro Tip: Bundle Modal pads with our organic liners + travel sleeve for maximum impact.
