5 Pillars of the Program
For 'adaptability' of menstrual products [among underprivileged communities]
Option 1: Municipal Waste Collection & Management
To make a meaningful impact, the waste need to be collected and disposed of (incinerated or buried) by government (municipal) bodies.
(Any private entity doing collection and disposal of the same has its limitations.)
Option 2: Clinics
The waste can be dumbed into waste/garbage bins at medical clinics/centers, from where it will be managed as medical waste.
Option 3: Burial
The menstrual products that have the majority materials as organic materials - can be buried/composted in community/personal waste pits.
