Danish startup LastObject has a mission to eliminate single-use products by making even better reusable alternatives. Since launching in 2016, it has released several products including LastSwab, a reusable silicone cotton swab, and LastRound, a reusable cotton round made from 100 per cent renewable materials. Now, it’s turning its attention to the menstrual market with the launch of LastPad, a reusable sanitary pad made out of super absorbent polyester and bamboo, on Kickstarter on Septem
arter on September 1.
So far, LastObject has raised over A$340,000 to develop LastPad, which has been carefully designed to mimic the way single-use pads look, work and feel — without the waste. LastPad can be washed and reused 300 times, compared to the 11,000 to 16,000 single-use menstrual products the average woman is estimated to use during her lifetime.
In this video, we speak with LastObject co-founder and designer Isabel Aagaard about the launch of LastPad and what’s next for the sustainable startup.
