About us :
At PadCare, we're on a mission to make hygiene sustainable. Founded in 2018, we have developed India's first patented sanitary napkin recycling technology—PadCareX.
But we're not just solving a waste problem, we're building a circular economy that champions environmental resilience and social equity. Our service model closes the loop starting from collection, recycling, and transforming single-use sanitary napkins into sustainable materials, while also creating dignified jobs for marginalized waste workers, especially women, across the country.
With 100+ changemakers across 25+ cities, PadCare is driving real impact—for people and the planet. Recognized by Forbes, the World Economic Forum, and more, we believe business can be a force for good. If you do too, PadCare is where your purpose finds a home.
