Switching to Lunette period cups reduce waste, protects users from toxins, saves money, and supports global social impact initiatives—making Lunette a leading choice in sustainable period care.

Across their lifetime, period cups represent a tiny fraction of the energy and resources that go into single-use products. They require no bleaching or chemical additives for absorbency and don’t pile up in landfills or litter waterways and beaches.

At Lunette, sustainability is a promise embedded in everything we do. Period cups are not only a personal health choice—they are a planetary necessity.

Every menstruating individual using disposables uses an average of 11,000 pads and tampons , which generates over 200,000 metric tons of plastic-laden waste annually in the U.S. alone.

Most pads are 90% plastic, and tampons and applicators contain chemicals like dioxin, chlorine, and rayon, which persist in landfills for centuries. The environmental toll extends beyond waste: cotton production is water-intensive, often pesticide-laden, and non-organic cotton pollutes both soil and water systems.

Choosing a toxin-free, plastic-free period cup not only reduces environmental impact but protects long-term health, combining safety, sustainability, and peace of mind and vagina.

Lunette was the only period cup with zero harmful chemical residues passing the Independent chemical testing by the Danish Consumer Council THINK Chemicals in 2023.

Our cups are crafted in Scandinavia with 100% medical-grade silicone, entirely free of plastics, latex, bleaches, BPA, phthalates, and PFAS. 

Registered with the FDA and certified by the Vegan Society.

Plastic-based period products can introduce endocrine-disrupting chemicals like BPA and phthalates, linked to hormonal imbalances, infertility, and long-term metabolic issues.

Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) risk is extremely low when using high-quality cups with proper hygiene.

Safe for users with latex allergies or chemical sensitivities.

Passing independent chemical safety tests is rare; Lunette ensures maximum protection for users while reducing environmental harm.

Our ethical production is located in the clean Scandinavian woods, are ISO-certified for environmental management, quality, and safety. Constantly moving forward, using energy sources such as solar, geothermal, and carbon‑free electricity power on our journey toward carbon‑neutral operations. Daily monitoring of resources and careful waste management guarantee transparency and accountability at every stage. Every cup is checked for quality manually.

By working with local, family-run manufacturers, we ensure that every element is made under fair working conditions. We focus on quality over quantity, producing in small batches to reduce waste and maintain high standards.

Our production process reflects our values: respect for people and the environment.

Lunette emphasizes ethical, transparent, and environmentally responsible manufacturing:

Our main warehouse in Finland, provides employment for workers facing labor barriers, fostering inclusion and social responsibility.

Use of renewable energy, daily resource monitoring, and careful waste management.

Cradle-to-grave life cycle analysis to track environmental impact from raw materials to disposal.

Durable, slow-consumption products reduce replacement frequency and overall environmental footprint.

Lunette’s approach aligns with studies showing that reusable menstrual products reduce over 95% of lifetime waste  compared to disposables.

Ethical production practices create social value alongside environmental benefits, demonstrating how sustainable manufacturing can simultaneously support people and the planet.

Equally important is our dedication to social responsibility: we collaborate with partners who foster inclusion and dignity, opening doors for those who face barriers to employment and proving that sustainability is about people as much as it is about the planet.

We’re committed to using eco-friendly packaging materials that are kind to the planet.

Sustainability extends beyond the product itself. Lunette packaging is plastic-free, recyclable, and biodegradable, designed to minimize energy and material use during shipping. Even small details, such as bookmarks and tissue, are made from  recycled or plant based materials.

By extending the life of tools and machinery, reducing waste, and embracing craftsmanship, we create packaging and products designed to endure. Our textiles are ethically sourced and certified to the highest European standards, reflecting our commitment to safety, quality, and respect for the environment.

Our printers employ traditional craftsmanship for embossing and printing, extending the life of machinery and reducing waste.

Our linen pouches are hand-sewn made from ethically sourced European flax, meeting  Oeko‑Tex® Standard 100 and REACH  compliance.

We have warehouse strategically placed around the world; to be closer to YOU and we produce the shipping boxes locally near each warehouse, all from recycled paper. The boxes are closed with plant based tape.

Every product shipped is packaged in a way that reduces energy consumption and waste.

Small, efficient packaging decreases the carbon footprint associated with transportation, demonstrating that sustainable design can merge aesthetics with responsibility.

Caring for the planet, supporting people, and embracing inclusiveness have always been at the heart of what we do. As a participant in the United Nations Global Compact, we continue this journey by weaving sustainability into every choice we make.
