Made from 100% sustainable bamboo and organic cotton, our buds are completely biodegradable once thrown away making them the more eco-friendly option. Bamboo takes in greenhouse gasses and produces 35% more oxygen than the equivalent trees.

• One pack contains 100 pieces
• Size: 7.4 x 0.5cm (at the widest point)
• 100% biodegradable
• Bamboo is naturally antibacterial and antimicrobial

Ethical standards:

Plastic buds/swabs are among the top 10 most common waste products found on beaches worldwide. Once plastic buds are dumped in the ocean, the adverse effects are considerable. The first victims are marine animals and seabirds because they swallow them. Even after one life cycle of these sea creatures, the plastic still remains in the environment. Help make a difference and save the planet by choosing this easy plastic-free swap!

Every year, billions of plastic buds are found in the oceans. And yet, fish doesn't have ears.
