Résumé
Aruna has created a process for extracting fibers from agricutural residuals to use in menstrual products, and other hygiene products to make them circular, higher performance and safer for the body. We have completed internal testing, and have worked with academic bodies for external testing. We would like to complete external testing with an internationally recognized organization to ensure the highest level of validation of safety & standards. The project includes chemical characterization, biodegradation, disintegration, and ecotoxicity testing to meet global compostability standards. The outcome will support regulatory compliance and expand market readiness of Aruna’s sustainable hygiene products.

Description (French)
Aruna a créé un processus d’extraction de fibres à partir de résidus agricoles pour les utiliser dans les produits menstruels et autres produits d’hygiène afin de les rendre plus circulaires, plus performants et plus sûrs pour le corps. Nous avons terminé les tests internes et avons travaillé avec des organismes universitaires pour les tests externes. Nous aimerions réaliser des essais externes avec une organisation internationalement reconnue afin de garantir le plus haut niveau de validation de la sécurité et des normes. Le projet comprend la caractérisation chimique, la biodégradation, la désintégration et les tests d’écotoxicité pour répondre aux normes mondiales de compostabilité. Le résultat soutiendra la conformité réglementaire et augmentera la disponibilité sur le marché des produits d’hygiène durables d’Aruna.
