Presently, millions of girls/women use feminine hygiene products such as sanitary napkins, tampons, applicators, etc. Used feminine hygiene products are disposed by wrapping them in toilet paper and flushing them down the toilet. These actions result in many adverse effects to us and to our environment.
Statistics have shown that on average, a female uses twice as much toilet paper as a male does. During their menstrual cycle, females use approximately 1 extra roll of toilet tissue for the purpose of feminine hygiene product disposal alone. The average female would use about 450 rolls of toilet paper in their lifetime just on feminine hygiene product disposal alone. That number translates to about 9.5 trees used per female. Based on that fact, the 125 million menstruating females in the U.S., will find that over 380 million trees will be cut down, turned into toilet paper, and used for tampon disposal over the next 35-40 years (avg. menstruating lifetime).
In the year 2000 in the US, there were an estimated 90,963,449 women between the age of 10 and 54. The above 515 rolls per woman in her lifetime, multiplied by women of this age group 90,963,449, adds up to a lot of wasted resources.
Adverse effects to our Environment:
Over the last 50 years, studies have shown that 20 percent of the world’s forests have been cleared to make paper products such as tissue paper, paper towels, facial tissues and etc. When we wrap these used products in excess tissue paper before throwing them in the trash, means that more trees are needed to be cut down to accommodate these needs.
Primarily people are very concern with the overall cleanliness especially the restroom facilities of establishments. To avoid embarrassments they tend to flush these used products in the toilet not knowing that this could lead to more damaging results. This may lead to the spread of bacteria or germs, this can cause drainage blockages and worst of all, it can pollute the marine environment. Floatables is the term used to describe the trash, debris and other visible material discharged when sewers overflow. Floatables are very harmful to the marine environment and is costly to clean up.
With the environmental issues that we are facing today, we have to make Earth-Friendly choices. Each and every one of us has a responsibility to help preserve our environment. With this thought in mind, Golden Group International, Ltd introduces Sani SAC™. Golden Group International, Ltd. is dedicated to developing unique products for discrete, safe, cost effective and convenient disposal of personal hygiene supplies and products. They are producing products that speak to the current global attitude on protecting the environment while at the same time helping businesses to address the need for discrete options for sanitary disposal.
What is Sani SAC™?
is a degradable feminine disposable bag, 4.5”x9” in dimension, 2.5mm in thickness, opaque and made of degradable plastic that is double-layered to efficiently store soiled feminine items for disposal into trash bins. It is described as a “considerate, cost-effective and very smart solution in a public environment”. Additionally, it is designed to be conveniently dispensed from a standard toilet paper holder which makes its installation and use very easy.
What are its uses and benefits?
Sani SAC™ will save companies thousands of dollars annually. Men and women dispose various items in the toilets such as condoms, hair, Band-Aids, feminine pads, tampons, wipes, even diapers when proper disposal options are not available. These objects often cause costly blockages in the sewage systems costing the facility thousands of dollars and disruption to the business when not addressed immediately. The average cost per hour for a plumber in the US is $70 but could go higher depending on the severity of the problem, location of the blockage or occurs in an emergency situation.
Sani SAC™ reduces waste in waterways by encouraging proper disposal and reduces the amount of wasted toilet paper. Ordinary plastics simply do not degrade for hundreds of years, therefore much of the plastic waste ends up in landfills or even worse as litter. This has become a serious economic, social and environmental problem. Our products are non-toxic and contain no heavy metals. They degrade and oxo-biodegrade, reducing the amount of plastic waste. The additives used in our products are harmless to humans, animals and plant life and are non-toxic, leaving no known harmful residues in the soil or waste streams. Our bags degrade in any environment, require no fertilizers, pesticides or water, they won’t hurt forestland and reduce biodiversity.
More Benefits of Sani SAC™:
• Sani SAC™ provides a more discrete, safe and sanitary disposal of menstrual products.
• It will reduce accidental contact or exposure to germs and blood borne pathogens and prevent the spread of disease by containing the blood and bodily fluids in a sealed bag.
• It helps prevent embarrassing exposure of used products from garbage spills or animals as it’s contained in its own sealed bag.
• It helps reduce the unpleasant smell of menstrual waste sitting in your bathroom trash can.
• Restaurants, hotels, public buildings, offices and clubs among other places will benefit their customers and members by providing a politely discrete, clean and healthy way to dispose of these products.
• Women will appreciate the convenience and clean facilities over places that do not offer this option because it would give them the chance to properly and discretely dispose theses items.
• Utilizing Sani SAC™ will save thousands of dollars and resources by helping reduce the use of excess amount of toilet paper. The average woman uses substantially more toilet paper during her menstrual cycle by wrapping tampons or pads in toilet paper in an effort to hide them in the garbage bin.
Why Chose Golden Group?
Going “ Green” is of utmost importance to us. The need for fully degradable plastic is critical. Millions of tons of plastic waste are buried annually in landfill sites around the world. We offer degradable products that breakdown in landfills in 12 to 18 months. Everyone can benefit from saving the planet.
In creating Sani SAC™ bags, we utilize non-toxic additive technology that contains no heavy metals. The bags are oxo-biodegradable, reducing the amount of plastic waste and are converted into carbon dioxide, water and biomass, by microorganisms. The additives used in our products are harmless to humans, animals and plant life and are non-toxic, leaving no known harmful residues in the soil or waste streams. The best solution for disposing of personal hygiene products is in landfills, not littering the world’s landmass and waterways where it can be a deadly peril to marine and animal life. These problems have led to a growing, immediate need for alternative thinking as well as a viable economic solution.
