Tulipal

As you can see, one of Tulipal's fundamental values is the ecological transition.

Every year, disposable menstrual products represent a considerable amount of waste for the planet. Every month, 325 million of these products are used and thrown away in France and Belgium. Tulipal wants to accelerate the movement towards the adoption of reusable protections such as menstrual cups, which represent a zero-waste alternative and are more environmentally friendly.

Since nothing is left to chance at Tulipal, the cleaner has also been developed using an eco-design method. It has been designed to be easily dismantled to allow the recyclability of the product at the end of its life and facilitate repair.

For Tulipal, there is no question of producing on the other side of the world! The start-up promotes local production and works with Belgian partners for both the production and assembly stages.

At Tulipal, gender equality is a daily struggle. The team engages in three main areas related to menstruation. First, they aim to change attitudes. To do this, they work closely with NGOs and other local actors by conducting awareness campaigns (conferences, workshops, etc.) in order to demystify menstruation and put an end to menstrual taboos. Today, one of their main projects is a collaboration with La Cambre, where they seek to reach non-menstruating people to raise their awareness of menstruation-related syndromes, the cost of menstruation, the mental load of menstruating people... Secondly, Tulipal has an awareness and information hub. The start-up wants to inform as many people as possible through books on periods, infographics, videos on their social networks, etc. Finally, their third axis is to fight against period poverty. On International Women's Day 2022, for example, the team distributed free reusable period products to students in precarious situations.

The two co-founders do everything to be consistent with the values conveyed by their product and this is the reason why we are proud to support them.
