Olivia Cotes-James

Olivia is the founder and CEO of LUÜNA. She is Forbes 30 Under 30 class of 2021, Tatler’s Generation T 2021, Hong Kong Women’s Advocate of the Year 2020 and the IPWS Young Business Leader of the Year 2020. LUÜNA is a purpose-driven period wellness company. Built between Hong Kong and Shanghai, LUÜNA exists to redefine the traditional period care industry to create social and environmental impact. Olivia launched the company in 2019, after learning about the harmful effects of the traditional period industry’s use of conventional cotton and non-cotton materials. Today, healthy LUÜNA period care products are available for subscription online, through retailers including Watsons and in bathrooms of major corporations and schools through the company’s unique dispenser system.

My Sustainability Goals for 2021:

1. Increase education around and adoption of reusable period care products to vastly reduce plastic period waste.

2. Launch subscription service which offers the user a carbon free period by working with partners to offset carbon emissions from the service.

3. Support corporates, schools, brands and organizations to supply eco-friendly period care products.
