Sustainable toilets for menstrual use

The Equality Commission contributes to promoting and encouraging the use of reusable and sustainable menstrual products in our workplace, which is why it has detected toilets that favor different forms of products for sustainable menstruation.

These spaces have:

• Identification label on the door.
• Faucet in the same individual compartment of the toilet.
• Soap and paper.
• Trash can with periodic emptying service and proper waste management.
• Remember to make good use of the space, leaving the facilities in good condition for the next person who needs it.
• If you have any other suggestions/proposals/observations, we would be very grateful if you could send them to us at gestion.igualdad@cid.csic.es
