Kodu Technology is a trailblazing social enterprise based in Ghana that innovatively addresses environmental and social challenges through food technology. By utilizing banana and plantain fibers, and transforming peels into organic glue used in pad production, Kodu manufactures eco-friendly, biodegradable sanitary pads. This dual-purpose strategy not only provides vital menstrual health products to underserved populations but also implements a sustainable model of waste reduction. Through this approach, Kodu Technology contributes to a circular economy, turning agricultural waste into a resource that enhances women’s health and environmental sustainability.
