Powered By Biotransformation Technology
Gopad is engineered using Biotransformation technology, which facilitates the complete biological consumption of polyolefins, making it an environmentally responsible choice for those who prioritise sustainability.
This is not your ordinary menstrual pad. It is made with Biotransformation technology and performs just like your regular disposable pad.
If it ends up in the environment, the pad transforms into an earth-friendly wax upon exposure to the natural elements sunlight, heat, air and moisture.
Microorganisms like bacteria and fungi feed on this wax, safely returning the pad to nature, leaving behind no microplastics or toxins.
Gopad meets ISO 10993 to ensure it is safe for your skin and free from toxins and perfumes. All materials containing Biotransformation technology have been independently tested to meet BSI PAS 9017.
