BRUSSELS, June 5, 2025-

EDANA, the global association for the nonwovens and related industries, together with the Absorbent Hygiene Product Manufacturers Association (AHPMA) in the UK, the Center for Baby and Adult Hygiene Products (BAHP), and the Association of the Nonwoven Fabrics Industry (INDA) in the US, is addressing a recent NGO report claiming to have detected trace levels of glyphosate in a single box of tampons.

The report’s comprehensive results have not been published, and the available details are minimal. The report is limited in scale, stating that “just 15 boxes” of tampons were tested. Its main claim centres on a finding in “one of the boxes”, without clarifying whether it was present in just one tampon or throughout the box. We would welcome the test data being shared so that we could examine and understand the results.
