Our Social Missions
At Mamotion®, our journey towards social missions is driven by a compelling need for change. Here's why we're committed to making a difference
Why we set out on our social missions
Throughout one person’s roughly 38 years of menstruation, one uses up between 10,000 to 15,000 disposable period products. Not only a financial burden to many, these products turn into 2 billion tons of plastic waste yearly
-
Each one-time-use disposable products like sanitary pads contains an average plastic components equivalent to 4-5 plastic shopping bags. With just a few hours of useful life, they turn into a huge amount of waste, including plastic waste that generally will live on for at least 500-800 years
-
️️Additionally, at roughly 20 to 30 cents apiece, sanitary products cumulatively cost a person up to $4,500. That amount surpasses a full year of income in about 20 countries. For some, that’s enough to pay for a house!
-
According to UNICEF, a concerning 2.3 billion people worldwide still lack adequate access to basic sanitation products & standards, including quality period products. At the same time, discussions about menstruation & women's health still remain a taboo in numerous regions, resulting in limited knowledge-sharing and awareness about health & hygiene best practices. When coupled with financial constraints, many resort to using inadequate alternatives such as rags or natural sponges, exposing themselves to serious health risks. This dire circumstance not only disrupts education and employment, but also perpetuates a vicious cycle of poverty and deprivation.
Compelling Needs For Change:
1. Period Poverty
Why should people, in about a quarter of the world, spend more than a full year of income on sanitary products, without easy access to more cost-effective options?
2. Compounding Environmental Impact from single-use products
Must we play a part in adding to the 2 billion tons of plastic waste created annually, simply due to our ongoing reliance on single use plastic-based sanitary products? Is it really necessary that this continues to be the norm? What does this mean to the future of our planet?
3. Result of Stigma & taboo surrounding women health & menstruation topics
Why are countless individuals still being denied access to vital information, so crucial to sustaining basic welfare & quality of life, all due to the enduring stigma & taboo that end up inhibiting open conversations & necessary knowledge-sharing to spread sufficient awareness on such important topics?
Surely, a more sustainable & cost-effective alternative to disposable menstrual products is direly needed. These products not only need to be widely accessible to people who need them around the world, but also must be accompanied by improved access to essential knowledge about women's health & well-being
So join us in our missions & collectively become a force towards changes that make a difference

2. Sustainability Mission
The sheer volume of waste produced by the continued disposal single-use period products, along with the amount of waste generated by the broader clothing industry, is nothing short of alarming, with serious long-term repercussions for the environment.
▪ If disposable hygiene products continue to be the norm, 2.4 billion people who are at the age of menstruation globally will discard about 800 billion sanitary products, or about 2 billion tons, in just a year.
▪ According to the Women’s Environment Network, disposable period products contain up to 90% plastic. With 1 pad containing the equivalence of 4-5 plastic shopping bags, each individual using disposables can generate a shocking 40,000 – 60,000 bags worth of period-related plastic waste in their lifetime.
▪ At the same time, about 92 million tons of clothes-related waste are being generated each year.
At Mamotion®, we're committed to combating this crisis through various avenues:
Product Design
Our products, like period wear, are meticulously developed and designed to fundamentally reduce waste by way of its function, as well as by their durability & resulting prolonged lifespan
Material Selection
We prioritize environmentally friendly materials, with some options made from sustainable textiles and materials, and some being biodegradable, with the goal of having minimal ecological footprint

Did you know?
There are 92 million tons of clothes-related waste each year, which end up in landfills
-
Globally, just 12% of the material used for clothing ends up being recycled
-
Clothing industry is also responsible for ~8-10% of global carbon emissions
With just 4 -8 hours of useful life, plastic-centric single-use period products will live on for at least 500 - 800 years after their brief usefulness
-
For those harmful plastics that don’t end up in landfill, they invade our oceans, waterways and shores, and ultimately the food chain
-
Significant numbers of menstrual items are also flushed down in the toilets each year, and roughly 5 pieces of menstrual waste are found per 100m of each beach cleaned

3. Empowering All with Knowledge
Even today, in many corners of the world, discussions surrounding women's health topics, such as menstruation, remain a taboo, hindering the dissemination of information crucial to maintaining basic sanitation and overall well-being. This stigma prevents vital knowledge from reaching those who need it most.
However, we believe that knowledge is power, and that every person has the right to receive access to essential knowledge about their own health, well-being, and things as normal as period.
Therefore, we're committed to breaking down barriers by gradually normalizing conversations about periods and women's health, ensuring vital information is accessible and beneficial to all who need it. Additionally, we are also dedicated to raising awareness and inspiring sustainable living practices, fostering habits that prioritize reuse, recycling, and upcycling for a kinder future to our planet.
Join our mission to improve awareness about all things health & well-being, while uncovering actionable tips for cultivating a more sustainable lifestyle for all
