Releaf plants one tree for every condom sold mainly in Madagascar, Mozambique and Kenya. On average, each mangrove planted removes around 308kg of CO2 from the atmosphere over a period of around 25 years; an average of ~12.3kg of CO2 per year. An initial estimate of Releaf carbon footprint comes to the conclusion that a maximum of 10-20g (grams, not kilograms!) of CO2 is emitted per condom. This means that after two years at the latest, each of their condoms is CO2 negative by an estimated factor of >1000.

By Q2 2024, Releaf has donated over 900.000 trees.

In agroforestry systems, other crops are grown alongside rubber trees. This has a positive impact on the groundwater level and biodiversity, as very little to no fertilizer and no pesticides are used.

No toxic materials are used in these products.

By providing condoms, Releaf promotes safe sex practices, potentially reducing the spread of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and contributing to overall sexual health in the communities they serve.
