USE CASES
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?
HOW DOES IT WORK?
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.
