Working towards Responsible Business
EMREN is new, we are learning on the job, we are researching every decision we make and will continue to evolve into a more ethical, transparent and sustainable business.
A reusable product is not automatically a sustainable or planet-friendly one. Below are the steps we are taking to achieve a truly sustainable product.
EMREN THE LABEL

Reusable Design
Single use sanitary items will sit in landfill for up to 500 years or longer. EMRENs period pants offer a quality and luxurious earth friendly option for future conscious families to reduce or completely avoid disposable period products - and feel wonderful doing it!

Looking to do better
We will not stop researching, testing and designing our processes and garments to be better for you and for our planet.
Our ultimate goal is for our period pants to be made of entirely Australian grown/ recycled/ made materials.
