Sustainability & Ethics Breakdown
Thinx For Teens operates with full supply chain transparency. Their organic cotton is sourced from farms in India and Turkey that are GOTS-certified, meaning no synthetic pesticides or fertilizers are used, and workers receive fair wages and safe conditions. The brand is Climate Neutral Certified, meaning they measure, reduce, and offset their annual carbon emissions. They also partner with the non-profit Days for Girls to donate reusable period products to communities in need. The entire line is PETA-approved vegan, ensuring no animal-derived materials or animal testing. While the TPU waterproof layer is not biodegradable, the brand is actively researching plant-based alternatives and offers a take-back program via Terracycle for worn-out pairs.
Ethics Score: 88/100 - Exceptional for a mass-market brand, with high marks in sourcing, labor, and animal welfare. Some room for improvement in full biodegradability and use of virgin materials in the barrier layer.
