Looop Can
Frugal cleaning kit for reusable period pad
Looop Can addresses a critical issue - period poverty among female refugees who often prioritise essential needs over menstrual hygiene. Our solution minimises water usage using buoyancy force, effectively cleaning pads with just 500-700 ml of water, making it ideal for water-scarce regions. What sets us apart is the innovative use of recycled steel cans, enabling users to replace cans if they rust or get damaged, ensuring long-lasting usability. We collaborate with NGOs like Phoenicia Finesse and iDE Cambodia to ensure our product reaches those in need. Looop Can makes a positive impact by providing dignified menstrual hygiene management.
The Looop Can solves an actual issue in an attractive, efficient and sustainable manner. The need analysis is sound, while the technology is efficient and scalable. The provoking design can also lead to much-needed inter-gender dialogue on an otherwise tacit topic.
WINNER STATEMENTBy providing a sustainable, accessible, and flexible solution, Looop Can ensures that no woman has to choose between basic necessities and menstrual health. We are extremely honored to be selected as a recipient of the iF Social Impact Prize.
