27,000 trees are cut down every single day to produce traditional tree-based products, its time to change! We use surplus Virgin Pulp Bamboo which would otherwise be wasted from FSC ® sustainably sourced forests which grows back a huge 30x faster than trees do. It's the fastest growing plant in the world! ps. We're not taking away food from the pandas, they think this particular type of bamboo is yucky!

Let's talk carbon. By choosing bamboo products, you use 65% less carbon emissions than if you were using tree based products. Bamboo also releases 35% more oxygen, and absorbs 30% more carbon than trees, incredible! Our supply chain is also fully Carbon Balanced meaning no surplus carbon is released in the production & transportation process. Let's act now!

Thirdly, bamboo has strong fibresand is super absorbent. Whether you're wiping your bum, face or the kitchen counter, it's the way to go!
