Superdrug has gone eco-friendly and is the first health and beauty chain in the UK to make their own brand sanitary products plastic-free
May 20, 2020 - 07:02 BST Carla Challis High street favourite Superdrug has made its sanitary products environmentally friendly by ditching plastic tampon applicators from its own-brand range – saving over 418kg of plastic waste every year. Instead, they've launched a new range of eco-friendly products which will include cardboard applicators or customers can choose applicator-free versions.
Superdrug teamed up with environmental activist Ella Daish, who started the #EndPeriodPlastic movement."It is fantastic that Superdrug has listened to the campaign and responded by taking these important steps to not only remove plastic from their conventional products, but also to develop an eco-range!", said Ella.
Superdrug's Head of Own Brand, Quality and Technical, Sarah Jenkins, said:"At Superdrug, we are proud to champion sustainable initiatives and continue to make responsible choices. Ella's tireless campaign to help end period plastic is inspirational, and we have been working with her over the past year to help bring about this change at Superdrug.
