Benefits
🌱 Biodegradable: Meaning it breaks down naturally, without the need of specific conditions in order to decompose - one of the benefits of a 100% natural product.
🌱 Plastic-free: Standard plastic cotton buds are the 8th most common piece of plastic pollution found on our beaches. They also usually come in plastic packaging. And we only use each one for a minute or less! What a waste. Easily avoided by swapping to this eco friendly alternative.
🌱 Sustainable: Bamboo cotton buds need fewer resources to be made than the paper or plastic alternative, as bamboo is famously lower maintenance: easier to grow and maintain, and it doesn't even need replanting as it regenerates from its own roots.
🌱 No nasty chemicals are used when growing bamboo: Pesticides aren't used as they are naturally resistant to insects. When pesticides are used, they end up entering our soil and water systems, ending up in our food and water. Also not the case with these.
🌱 Safe and hygienic: Bamboo fibres are naturally anti-bacterial! This is due to its substance called 'bamboo kun' found in its fibre and is an antimicrobial bio-agent.
End of life
Once you are done using your bamboo cotton buds, you can dispose of them by popping them into your organic waste or compost. The kraft paper packaging can be thrown into your paper recycling or repurposed.
