Vyld is revolutionizing menstrual health by creating the world’s first tampons made from seaweed, a sustainable and regenerative resource. By harnessing the natural absorbent properties of marine macroalgae, Vyld is not only providing a healthier alternative to conventional menstrual products but also addressing the environmental impact of period waste. Their innovative approach combines radical sustainability with a commitment to ocean health, aiming to empower menstruators while contributing to the restoration of marine ecosystems.
The mission of Vyld is to reframe the social stigma surrounding menstruation and promote menstrual health through eco-friendly products. They envision a world where menstrual products are not only safe and effective but also contribute positively to the environment.
Vyld tackles the pressing issue of period waste, which contributes significantly to ocean pollution. By using seaweed, which grows rapidly without the need for fertilizers or fresh water, they mitigate the environmental footprint associated with traditional menstrual products.
In terms of circular economy contributions, Vyld’s model emphasizes the use of renewable resources and aims to create a closed-loop system where products are biodegradable and do not harm the environment. Their seaweed cultivation practices also support marine habitat restoration, making them a pioneer in sustainable menstrual health solutions.
With their innovative kelpons, Vyld is set to make a significant impact, as seaweed can sequester large amounts of CO2 and produce more oxygen than trees. Recently, Vyld secured a seven-figure funding round to further develop their Algaeverse, showcasing their potential for growth and impact.
