sustainability
score:

details:
Tampon Tribe uses 100% certified organic cotton and completely plastic-free packaging. Their products are biodegradable, and the packaging is compostable or recyclable, which aligns well with their zero waste mission.
The organic cotton used in their tampons and pads is certified by GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard), verifying that the cotton is produced without harmful pesticides or synthetic fertilizers, which reduces overall environmental impact. Additionally, the brand's commitment to avoiding single-use plastics is impressive as even the tampon wrappers are made from plant-based materials.
While these efforts are all positive, Tampon Tribe doesn’t disclose information about its carbon footprint or any initiatives to offset production emissions. More transparency regarding water usage and specific environmental goals, such as carbon neutrality, would enhance their sustainability profile.
non-toxic
score:
coming
details:
Tampon Tribe's tampons, pads, and liners are made from 100% GOTS-certified organic cotton, which ensures they are free from harmful chemicals, pesticides, and synthetic fibers commonly found in conventional period products. The products are also free from chlorine, dyes, fragrances, and other known irritants, making them safe for sensitive skin.
This high level of transparency and the presence of organic certification support their non-toxic claims. The GOTS certification confirms the absence of toxic chemicals as well as verifies some social and environmental standards.
social responsibility
score:
coming
details:
Tampon Tribe has a social mission that includes donating menstrual products to those in need, helping to address period poverty. Their commitment to making accessible, sustainable period products underscores their social responsibility focus. However, we could not find information regarding worker treatment and fair wages. Information about labor practices, supply chain transparency, and third-party verification would strengthen their social responsibility profile.
