We were recently contacted by Sidra Malik, a student at Magdalen College School in Oxford who has won the 2024 BIEA STEM Wellness Innovation Award with her research into the utilisation of waste from the fashion industry and banana fibre to make period pants.
As you know, we are huge supporters of period pants (and have a range of WUKA pants in store!). They are seriously life changing, they are so comfy, leak-proof and you'll never need to buy a pad again!
Research like Sidra's is important to keep innovating and discovering new ways to create better products with less virign materials. We love her innovative approach to build on one of our favourite sustainable swaps!
Sidra is off to University shortly to study Economics which we're sure will stand her in good stead to tackle her next environmental challenge. If you'd like to learn more you can download Sidra's report below.
We are huge supporters of young environmentalists and budding entrepreneurs. If you have an idea for a project that you would like some help getting off the ground then please do get in touch with us. We'd be happy to help.
