Natural hydrogel can make personal hygiene products greener

A natural, superabsorbent material developed at the University of Waterloo could dramatically reduce the environmental impact of personal hygiene products like diapers, menstrual pads and tampons. Unlike synthetic absorbent materials in commercial hygiene products, which are expected to take centuries to break down, the new hydrogel degrades harmlessly in soil within three months. "Our goal was a scalable, economical process for producing eco-friendly materials to replace the non-degradable components currently used in personal hygiene products," said Dr. Tizazu Mekonnen, a chemical engineering professor at Waterloo. "Our work demonstrates that we can design high-performance alternatives that work extremely well without leaving hundreds of years of waste behind for future generations."

hey guys let me ask you something

do any of you use those absorbent panties?

my period is always a nightmare, I have to use a tampon, a pad and two underwears, and still change it all every two hours, it’s uncomfortable and I live in a place where is summer all year and I really need to try something new because I don’t have the money to buy all these products and still feel gross and uncomfortable most of the time :(

I’m looking into this and found one called Pantys and apparently they are very good but they are a bit expensive to me so any of you know of any other brand that might be cheaper. remember I live in Brazil so buying things imported is a NO NO can’t afford no way

I have a lot of bad traumas related to my period so it’s a sensitive matter for me, I’m just trying to make the experience less tragic every month because honestly I won’t survive much like this

Making menstrual pads from succulents could improve access to sanitary products

A method for producing a highly absorbent material from sisal (Agave sisalana)—a drought-tolerant succulent plant—is described in a study published in Communications Engineering. The authors suggest that, with further development, their method could be used to produce locally sourced disposable menstrual pads in rural and semi-arid regions. Manu Prakash and colleagues treated fibers extracted from sisal leaves with peroxyformic acid and sodium hydroxide before air drying and blending them. This generated a fluffy material that the authors suggest could be used as an absorbent layer in a disposable menstrual pad—they found that it is capable of absorbing more water than a commercially-available cotton menstrual pad (23.9 vs. 15.2 grams of water per gram of material). The authors demonstrated this potential use by incorporating processed sisal into a prototype menstrual pad between a porous top layer and a waterproof bottom layer obtained from a commercial menstrual pad.

Industrial Absorbents Market Industry Leaders Size & Share Outlook & New Revenue Pockets

The industrial absorbents market is projected to grow from USD 4.3 billion in 2023 to USD 5.2 billion by 2028, at a CAGR of 4.0% from 2023 to 2028. The industrial absorbents market is driven by growing environmental concerns and regulations with respect to the spillage of oil and chemicals. Environmental regulatory bodies such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) govern the functioning of end-use industries such as oil & gas and chemical industries regarding the application of spill control products and materials being used in the manufacture of spill control products. There is a high growth prospect for reusable industrial absorbents during the forecast period. Reusable absorbent products are cost-effective, and with rising regulatory obligations, they are expected to witness significant growth in the near future.

Based on material, the industrial absorbents market is bifurcated into natural organic, natural inorganic, and synthetic materials. The synthetic segment dominated the industrial absorbents market's value due to the extensive demand for polypropylene, which is both easily accessible and cost-effective compared to other materials. In contrast, the natural organic and natural inorganic segments held smaller shares within the market. Natural organic absorbents, like cellulose, possess flammability, limiting their application in industries like oil & gas and chemicals. Meanwhile, natural inorganic absorbents, such as clay and sand, find their utility primarily in land spill environments.

Based on products, the industrial absorbents market is segmented into pads, rolls, pillows, granules, booms & socks, sheets & mats, and others. The pads category led the industrial absorbents market, being the most prevalent absorbent used for wiping or preventing spills. These pads predominantly utilize materials like polypropylene, polyester, and polyurethane. Widely employed as universal and HAZMAT absorbents, they serve diverse industrial purposes. Booms & socks, on the other hand, are primarily deployed in water spill environments, especially for oil spill prevention and recovery.

Based on type, the industrial absorbents market is classified into universal, oil-only, and HAZMAT/Chemical. The oil-only segment held the largest share in the industrial absorbents market, primarily due to its extensive usage in the oil & gas industry, a major consumer of industrial absorbents. Entities involved in oil and LNG production utilize oil-only absorbents such as booms, socks, pillows, and rolls during drilling, processing, and production operations. HAZMAT/chemical absorbents cater to dangerous chemical spillages on land or water, while universal absorbents target smaller liquid spills, excluding hazardous chemicals.

Based on end-use industries, the industrial absorbents market is segmented into oil & gas, chemical, food processing, healthcare, and others. The oil & gas sector emerged as the primary consumer of industrial absorbents. This demand stemmed from the necessity to control, contain, and recover petroleum, oil, and LNG during operational spills. North American and European countries, bound by strict regulations, emphasized spill control product usage within the oil & gas industry. Additionally, the chemical industry exhibited significant demand for industrial absorbents, especially HAZMAT absorbent products, due to hazardous chemicals' adverse effects on human health and the environment.

The industrial absorbents market has been studied for North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, South America, and the Middle East & Africa. North America and Europe are mature markets for industrial absorbents. The North American region led the industrial absorbents market the highest CAGR between 2023 and 2028. Notably, these regions enforce rigorous regulations concerning spill management and containment, especially within industries like oil & gas and chemicals.

Projections indicate that Asia Pacific and the Middle East & Africa will emerge as the swiftest expanding markets for industrial absorbents in the foreseeable future. Anticipated growth stems from a heightened demand for spill control solutions in nations like China, India, and Saudi Arabia, propelling the industrial absorbents market's advancement within these regions.

Major players operating in the industrial absorbents market include Companies such as 3M Company (US), Brady Corporation (US), Decorus Europe Ltd. (UK), Johnson Matthey Plc (UK), Kimberly-Clark Professional (US), Meltblown Technologies Inc. (US), Monarch Green, Inc. (US), New Pig Corporation (US), and Oil-Dri Corporation of America (US). The companies have widespread manufacturing facilities, an established portfolio of industrial absorbents, a robust market presence, and strong business strategies. These factors are attributed to their progression in the industrial absorbents market.
