What Does Science Say About Reused Fraldas? A Study Reveals the Real Impacts

A 2023 study published in the scientific journal Bioscience Research compared discarded and reused waste on three fronts: environmental impact, economic cost and toxicological safety. The results offer solid data for families seeking to make informed and conscious choices .

1. Environmental Impact: less waste, less emissions
The study concluded that the use of reused bottles reduces:

• The production of solid waste is close to 60% , throughout the period of use of refrigerators.

• Carbon bonding throughout the life cycle, from production to disposal

• Depending on plastics and single-use materials, it is difficult to recycle

2. Economic Poupança: an investment that compensates
Based on real use scenarios, the study estimates that:

• Reused parts represent a significant amount , even considering the washing costs.

• In the mean time, the total cost of discarded waste can be two times more than two reused ones, for children

3. Toxicological Safety: less chemicals, more health
Be alert for the presence of potentially dangerous substances in discarded containers, such as:

• Dioxins (resulting from chlorine bleaching)

• Synthetic fragrances and superabsorbent polymers

• Plastics and adhesives that can release irritating compounds or endocrine disruptors

These substances come into contact with sensitive skin of babies for hours every day — increasing the risk of irritations, allergies , and cumulative exposure to chemical compounds.

Conclusão:
The study published in Bioscience Research confirms that many conscious countries already suspect: as fraldas reutilizáveis are a more sustainable, economical and healthy option. The same logic can be applied to reused menstrual products , which also reduce waste and exposure to unwanted chemicals.

At Mind the Bum , we transform this knowledge into action: we create comfortable, durable, reused products free of toxic chemicals — to protect your body and the planet.
