Clean Country announced on June 10 that it has been selected as the supplier for the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family's public sanitary pad support pilot program.
The initiative aims to provide free sanitary pads by installing dedicated dispensers in public facilities frequently used by citizens, such as administrative welfare centers and public libraries. The ministry plans to operate the program starting in July in 12 basic local governments across the country, including Seoul, Suwon, Mokpo, Gumi, and Jeju.
The sanitary pads provided by Clean Country for the pilot program will be the 'Pure Cotton Zero Medium' variety, which meets the same quality standards as commercially available Pure Cotton products, featuring a 100% natural cotton cover and excluding superabsorbent polymers (SAP).
To ensure compliance with public procurement characteristics and operational standards, Clean Country plans to establish a stable supply system and adhere to relevant laws and safety standards while supplying the sanitary pads. The company will prioritize product safety and supply stability.
A Clean Country representative stated, "Participating in this project is significant as it contributes to expanding access to hygiene products and ensuring universal menstrual rights." They added, "As a company providing essential hygiene products, we will support the creation of an environment where everyone can access hygiene products when needed."
