GET TOXIC CHEMICALS OUT OF PERIOD PRODUCTS
Add your voice to the global movement demanding safe period products.
Wen’s petition with Pesticide Action Network UK and EKO IS backed by 72,000+ people and a coalition of NGOs, academics and brands, calling for regulation across all period products – together we can’t be ignored! Mandatory safety testing of ALL period products. Full ingredient disclosure by manufacturers. Legislation to ban toxic chemicals and heavy metals in period products.
We urge you to take immediate action to get toxic chemicals out of period products and ensure all period products in the UK are safe to use.
Our report with Pesticides Action Network UK found toxic glyphosate in period products at *40 times* higher than the legal limit for drinking water. Glyphosate is linked to cancer, dementia, fertility issues, and more – and it’s especially dangerous if it’s found in tampons because absorption can be up to 80% higher than other areas of the body.
We need a Menstrual Health, Sustainability and Dignity Act to guarantee regulation, provision, education and sustainability.
Spread the word about the #ToxicFreePeriodsPetition on social media, using our Comms Toolkit. Take part in Environmenstrual Week (20–26 October)
