SYBERT | Washable hygienic protections reimbursed up to 50%

18 September 2024 Members' News

Disposable tampons and sanitary pads are non-recyclable and, along with other sanitary textiles (diapers, tissues, cotton, etc.), account for 13% of domestic waste in France—over 30 kg per person per year, according to the French Agency for Ecological Transition. In the SYBERT area, this amounts to an estimated 216 tonnes of waste annually. 

To support access to reusable options, SYBERT offers a grant of up to EUR 50 (including VAT) for the purchase of washable sanitary pads, menstrual cups, or period underwear. The grant covers 50% of the purchase price and requires residents of the SYBERT area to complete an application form.
