In the “heart” of our strategy for sustainable development, is our commitment to create products with the smallest possible environmental footprint.

At MEGA we have adopted the United Nations Agenda for 2030 and we support the 17 Global Sustainable Development Goals. 

A main key in this direction is the continuous redesign of our products / processes, by adopting the principles of the circular economy and, at the same time, by promoting responsible consumption and product transparency.

Based on this logic, we developed MEGA Sustainability Strategic Plan 2050, which we have named Sustainability Program: Redesign – Reduce – Recycle.

Namely, with the Sustainability Program we aim to promote sustainable development through the substantial redesign of our activities / products (REDESIGN), by adopting the principles of the circular economy and by achieving significant levels of materials’ reuse (RECYCLE) and resource savings (REDUCE).

MEGA, the 100% Greek company behind EveryDay, by welcoming the global institutional efforts and private initiatives to address key environmental concerns, raises the bar high once again by setting the following objectives:

Absorbent core made of plant fibers

Over the last decade, the trend in the design of absorbent pads has been the reduction of plant fibers in the pulp and the increase of synthetic polymers. MEGA, being true to its commitment for sustainable development, has maintained a significant part of plant fibers in the pulp, while, since 2020, for the category of daily feminine hygiene pads (pantyliners), it procures pulp that comes exclusively from FSC forestry.

FSC™ (Forest Stewardship Council™) is an international, independent, non-profit and non-governmental organization founded in 1993 to support environmentally sound, beneficial and sustainable forest management worldwide. FSC™ certification ensures that the certified products derive from responsibly managed forests, controlled sources, recycled materials or a combination thereof.

MEGA commits to use exclusively (100%) FSC certified pulp by 2030.
