Bamboo Cotton Buds - White

These cotton buds are made with bamboo sticks instead of plastic; this makes a world of difference. The sticks are sturdier as a result; this makes them easier to use than standard cotton buds. In addition, this means you don't have unnatural plastic in your ear: nice idea. Of course, using less plastic is a good plan in itself.

The bamboo used in the production of these swabs is 100% biodegradable and responsibly grown. Bamboo is the fastest-growing plant on earth; an ideal replacement for wood or plastic, which takes much longer to form. Bamboo is naturally antibacterial; so no artificial fertilisers or pesticides need to be used when growing bamboo.

Maybe sticking a coloured cotton swab in your ear doesn't feel entirely healthy, but it definitely is! After all, it is natural BPA-free cotton, with natural dye.

A company focused only on profit will only improve itself. We believe there is enough in the world to share. If we are lucky enough to be born in a richer part of the world, we should not forget to care for the less fortunate. Your daily choice of produce can, believe it or not, make a change. Like the pebble, a large amount of people can really shift the unequal balance of living standards. In a growing world population, where we face the foresight of limited resources in the future, we have to ask the question: can we change the way we produce and consume? The answer is yes! You have that power, by making the conscious choices. We have done our part by choosing sustainable materials, now it is up to you to choose the right products.
