Let’s Talk with Maddie Ossovani & Matt Cohen

This week Isabella sat down with Maddie Ossovani and Matt Cohen, the co-founders of Bloody Good (Bins), a Melbourne-based sanitary bin company fighting period taboo with gorgeous, colourful bins. They also donate 50% of their profits to projects that empower women in low-income countries. Bloody Good is entirely self-funded and currently has about a dozen customers, but their dream is to one day have a Bloody Good Bin in every commercial bathroom stall in Australia. In this episode we talk about what led them to start Bloody Good, how they actually took their idea of creating colourful, quirky sanitary bins into an actual physical product and why they feel there is such a stigma around periods and disposing of period products. We also talk why they are so passionate about being a social enterprise, and the impact they've been able to create as a result, plus SO much more!

If you enjoyed our chat with Mads and Matt and want to keep up to date with them and the Bloody Good team, you can follow Bloody Good on Instagram right here @bloodygoodbins or you can head to their website here! They even have a handy form if you want to anonymously nominate a business or workplace for a Bloody Good bin - so cool.
