Description

Bamboo cotton buds are the perfect replacement for plastic swabs in every home.

Plastic cotton buds are damaging marine life, especially when flushed down the toilet. They take many years to break down if they do go to landfill, cannot be recycled and cannot go in your compost heap. So, we’re offering you an alternative that’s sustainable, natural, and eco friendly (and won’t float in the ocean for hundreds of years.)

As you might already know, plastic cotton buds are among the list of products being banned in the UK in 2020, so this means there’s bound to be a heightened demand for eco friendly cotton buds. Our bamboo cotton buds consist of a bamboo stick with a cotton head at either end. It is very similar to your normal cotton buds but without the plastic.

Origins

The bamboo cotton buds are made in Fujian, South East China. The bamboo is grown organically but the cotton is just cotton, not organic.

The factory complies with local labour laws and has good working conditions.

To reduce plastic in the supply chain, we avoid plastic bubble wrap and all plastic filler packaging. Instead, the factory puts 99 packs of cotton buds in a small cardboard box. Then that cardboard box is placed in a larger box. It is shipped by sea in bulk to reduce carbon emissions. These are practices that you cannot find when you buy eco products from large companies like supermarkets.
