Bamboo Cotton Buds - Bamboovement

A beautiful and sustainable alternative to one of the most commonly found plastic products on beaches. These bamboo cotton swabs consist of a combination of bamboo and cotton and are therefore completely plastic-free.

What is the importance of bamboo cotton swabs?

Did you know that plastic cotton swabs are among the top 10 most commonly found plastic products on the beach? They pose a great danger to all animals that they encounter on their path. By switching to these environmentally friendly cotton swabs, you prevent a lot of animal suffering. And even if plastic cotton swabs simply end up in the trash, they still cannot be recycled. This natural alternative, on the other hand, can simply be disposed of with the organic waste after use. By switching to bamboo cotton swabs, you also avoid unnecessary waste. 

Like many of our products, these cotton swabs are also largely made of bamboo. Bamboo is incredibly sustainable for several reasons. For example, it is the fastest growing plant in the world. The type we use, moso bamboo, grows up to one meter per day under optimal conditions. In addition, the origin and cycle of a bamboo plant is also very sustainable. It does not grow from seeds, but from one large root system. By using at least five-year-old bamboo, the root system remains healthy and intact, and new branches constantly grow from it.
