Saving 5t CO2
We compared our underwear to a similar product that contains cotton and plastic like spandex or elastane. From a production of 15,000 pieces, our plastic-free products save 5 tons of CO2. This corresponds to 233 trees or the annual electricity consumption of 2 EU households. Apart from that, the closed-loop approach recycles the water used and substantially reduces the use of chemicals.

Circular Product Design
We use exactly 5 biodegradable fibers or natural based sources: wood pulp, algae, plant starch, zinc and natural rubber. The fibers are manufactured in a closed-loop system in which the solvents used are reused. In this way, the impact on the environment during production can be minimized.

Plant based colours & finishing
CEDENU's fabrics are dyed with microorganisms. The base is a natural occurring color. The DNA of paint is produced in the form of pigments by microorganisms. The dyeing and finishing processes are on a natural basis and do not require the addition of toxic chemicals

WHY CIRCULAR HYGIENE UNDERWEAR?
Plantbased EU production
All parts of our product stem from plants such as algae, corn or wood. In addition our product processes are done in Europe only. Together with our partners we aim to rule out fossil energy use in the production process in the next 7 years.

Good for your body
Our natural fibres are not only soft and skin friendly, they are also nurturing, odour controlling and antibacterial. The most positive side effect - skin irritations and intimate infections can be reduced by leaving out synthetics, non breathable product parts.

Good for the environment - reusable
By using reusable hygienic underwear you are helping to save millions of Euros that is needed to clear sewage plants from disposable products as well as preventing making waste that does not biodegrade. With good care our underwear can last for several years.

Industrial compostable after life
After usage many textiles land in the residual waste. This waste is mostly exported into developing countries on their landfills where it cannot biodegrade due to use of plastic. Our underwear is industrially compostable - 80% degrade within 30 days. The rest degrades within 2-3 months.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
1. Moisture regulation
The first layer of the gusset regulates the liquid and transports it quickly to the second layer. The fabric is skin friendly, odour inhibiting and anti bacterial.
2. Absorption
The second layer is for absorption. It is capable to absorb a great deal of liquids and is additionally rich in antioxidants.

3. Moisture blocking
The third layer blocks all liquids. This is possible due to a biodegradable Polyurethane film leading to a reduced impact on the end-of-life of the product.

4. Outter body layer
The last layer is the body part that comprises most of the underwear. It provides a soft skin comfort, and is a lightweight fabric.

OUR MISSION
We have made it our mission to change the hygiene market: 90% of hygiene products in the EU contain plastic that ends up in our groundwater, the sea or in landfills, where it would take several hundred years for it to biodegrade. Across the EU, 50 million single-use products are used every year, creating a huge amount of waste. Cedenu offers aesthetic hygiene underwear with a circular design that is industrially compostable. Our products are based on natural fibers and dyeing processes.
