PadCare provides menstrual hygiene management to organizations looking to ensure zero landfilling and reduce carbon emissions. This ensures safe and hygienic disposal of sanitary pads for menstruators and dignified working conditions for housekeeping staff and waste workers, eliminating manual handling of sanitary pads.

We have developed a chemo-mechanical process for sanitary pad recycling where our patented 5D technology powers a machine that efficiently processes used pads.

We are also exploring applications in the chemical and textile industries. From the plastic output, we make paver blocks and plastic granules.
