How sustainable is the Durham University Period Dignity Pilot?

Following it's launch in November 2023, the Period Dignity Pilot aims to address period poverty and ensure access to free menstrual hygiene products through vending machines and baskets placed in 22 locations across the University, accessible to both students and staff.

All products are made using 100 per cent organic cotton and create 25 per cent less waste than other brands and all tampons are plastic-free.
