GladRags Participates in Exciting New Trend at Natural Products Expo West

Eco-friendly menstrual product leader and certified Benefit Corporation GladRags will exhibit at Natural Products Expo West in Anaheim in March.

Portland, Oregon (I-Newswire) February 13, 2013 - GladRags is proud to invite retailers, press, and other expo attendees to visit their booth #3359 at Natural Products Expo West this year. This annual tradeshow is one of the largest and longest-running natural products gatherings in the United States and attracted a record number of attendees last year. The 2013 expo runs from March 8th through 11th at the Anaheim Convention Center in California.

In 2012, Benefit Corporations (B Corporations) were recognized as one of the new and exciting trends at Natural Products Expo West. This year, GladRags will be one of 40 certified B Corporations exhibiting. Certified B Corporations represent approximately 2% of overall exhibitors at the expo.

Certified B Corporations meet rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, legally expand their corporate responsibilities to include consideration of stakeholder interests, and build collective voice through the power of the unifying B Corporation brand. GladRags has lent its voice to support B Corporation legislation in Oregon, where the company is based.

“We are proud to be a part of this exciting industry trend to show our commitment to a higher standard of environmental and social sustainability,” says GladRags owner Tracy Puhl. “We hope that certified Benefit Corporations continue to receive the recognition they deserve, both in tradeshows like the Natural Products Expo and in state legislation.”

Founded in 1993, GladRags has been a leader in environmentally-friendly products with a message of female empowerment for almost 20 years. GladRags offers natural and reusable menstrual products, laundering supplies, and value kits. GladRags sells washable cotton pads and natural rubber and medical-grade silicone menstrual cups online and in stores nationwide.
