Overview of Business

EcoComfort Essentials is a purpose-driven social enterprise founded by Shaquille R Gould on 15 September 2025. We manufacture biodegradable sanitary pads and baby diapers using sugarcane bagasse — an agricultural by-product often burned or discarded in KwaZulu-Natal.

We’re not just making hygiene products.
We’re building a circular economy where waste becomes worth, and dignity is designed into every fiber.
