- Bamboo: the only woody plant that can keep up with human consumption, bamboo can grow up to 3 feet in 24 hours! It’s an extremely self-sufficient plant as it can regenerate from its own roots (it doesn’t need to be replanted), and it doesn’t require any fertilizer - its fallen leaves provide more than enough nutrients to keep it growing big and strong. Also, bamboo is technically a grass, not a tree, so all bamboo products are tree-free! PS: We use bamboo in about 90% of our products.
- Recycled plastic: all of the recycled plastic we use is either PP (polypropylene) or PET (polyethylene terephthalate), which is mainly from recycled water bottles. This is because these 2 types of plastic are the most highly recyclable types and are recyclable worldwide, providing a lot of supply. There are two different kinds of recycled plastics: PCR (post-consumer recycled) and PIR (post-industrial recycled). There aren’t many ways for us to validate 100% PCR plastic because PCR and PIR are almost always mixed together, therefore we never use this claim.
- The benefits of using recycled plastic are:
- We’re giving plastics a second life and creating a market for recycled material, therefore supporting the recycling process
- Helps us to divert plastic from landfills
- The carbon footprint is lower than producing virgin plastics
- The benefits of using recycled plastic are:
