Mitigate the effects of climate change with bamboo-made consumer products that are more environmentally friendly and safe for our planet in the long run.
Ride in the current wave of sustainability to reduce plastic usage in our daily lives. Plastic is extensively used everywhere and the non-biodegradable material is damaging to the planet. When thrown on land, it reduces soil fertility. When disposed in sea, it harms marine life and pollutes the ocean.
Therefore, naturally-sourced materials that are composable are better for the planet in a long run. Bamboo has proven its versatility in many ways and today, it is used in popular productions like furniture, flooring and clothes.
Take a small step to rescue the environment by reinventing your daily choices and usage. Like the late Stan Lee has put it, one person can really make a difference. So even if you failed all your previous resolutions, take a momentous turn this year by switching to bamboo-made products for a good change.
