Flushing the wrong items can cause blockages and\u00a0damage the sewers and ultimately the environment including rivers and oceans.\u00a0We urge everyone to bin and not flush products like sanitary products, wipes and cotton wool. The only things which should go down the loo are the 3 Ps &#8211; pee, poo and (toilet) paper.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Natural Environment Minister, Mairi Gougeon said<\/strong>:\u00a0 \u201cThe easing of lockdown restrictions following the coronavirus pandemic has prompted more people to re-engage with and enjoy Scotland\u2019s outdoor spaces, including our beautiful beaches.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u00a0all want to enjoy our surroundings, not have it spoiled by litter, which pollutes our environment and harms wildlife as well as spoiling the view. That why it is so important \u2013 perhaps now more than ever \u2013 that we all take responsibility to tackle our throwaway culture and protect our environment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMany are familiar with the scourge of plastic bottles and cans washing up on our beaches, but the Don\u2019t Rush To Flush campaign highlights the very real and significant impact that incorrect disposal of period products down toilets also has and I welcome this approach from Hey Girls to raise awareness of the issue.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>A a huge percentage of conventional period products also contain harmful and often hidden levels of plastic which can be ingested by sea life and will not break down naturally, only contributing further to the rising levels of plastic waste in the ocean.<\/p>\n<p>The campaign coincides with the start of the Great British Beach Clean, taking place on beaches across the UK over the weekend.\u00a0 Last year at 146 co-ordinated events 1020 tampons, applicators, towels and panty liners were removed from beaches in one weekend alone.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Catherine Gemmell, Scotland Conservation Officer for the Marine Conservation Society <\/strong>said: \u201cDuring last year\u2019s Great British Beach Clean in Scotland our volunteers found, on average, 5 items of menstrual plastic waste for every 100m of beach surveyed. No matter whether you live near or far from the coast, our actions have consequences on the ocean. We hope everyone will see the Do Not Flush message and take action so our volunteers will be seeing less of these\u00a0 items damaging our beaches and endangering our wildlife in the future.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Hey Girls\u2019 disposable products are biodegradable and are both free from plastic and any nasty chemical treatments.\u00a0 They recognise that a more sustainable solution to periods is vital, with period waste generating over 200,000 tonnes a year, Hey Girls also manufactures a range of eco-friendly reusable period products, from medical grade silicone menstrual cups to reusable period pants and pads.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Catherine\u00a0Bozec, campaign manager\u00a0of Zero Waste Scotland\u2019s #TrialPeriod campaign to promote the use of reusable menstrual products<\/strong>,\u00a0said:\u00a0 \u201cRecent research by Zero Waste Scotland showed a promising 10% of\u00a0people\u00a0in Scotland are currently using reusable products and a further 76% said they would consider trialling\u00a0at least one reusable alternative \u2013 the menstrual cup, period pants or washable cloth pads.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe understand\u00a0that sometimes reusables aren\u2019t for everyone, and some\u00a0people\u00a0prefer to use a mix of reusable and disposable products to manage their period.\u00a0That\u2019s\u00a0why\u00a0we wholeheartedly back Hey Girls\u2019\u00a0\u2018don\u2019t rush to flush\u2019\u00a0message. It\u2019s so important to keeping our environment pristine that we all do our bit and dispose of menstrual products responsibly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The #TrialPeriod campaign was supported by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Hey Girls products are available to buy online <a href=\"https:\/\/sandbox.heygirls.co.uk\/katya_staging\">www.heygirls.co.uk<\/a> and are in select ASDA, Scotmid, Co-op and Waitrose stores.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SOCIAL ENTERPRISE BECOMES FIRST PERIOD PRODUCT MANUFACTURER IN UK TO ADD \u201cDO NOT FLUSH\u201d WARNING TO ALL PAD, PANTY LINER AND TAMPON WRAPPERS AN ESTIMATED 4.6 MILLION PERIOD PRODUCTS ARE FLUSHED DOWN UK TOILETS EVERY DAY DATA FROM THE MARINE CONSERVATION SOCIETY SHOWS 4 PIECES OF LITTER IDENTIFIED AS MENSTRUAL WASTE ARE FOUND PER 100M [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1385,"featured_media":3732,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_themeisle_gutenberg_block_has_review":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[64,81],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-52206","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-sustainable-living"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 -
