A range of sustainable packaging made from Bamboo, a fast-growing, oxygen-making, carbon-dioxide sucking GRASS.

BEST IN GRASS

Why is Bamboo packaging more sustainable than paper and cardboard?

Bamboo is a grass which means it can be harvested above the roots. It then renews itself really quickly (it actually holds the Guiness World Record as the fastest growing plant in the world)

Being #TreeFree is important because when trees are cut down to make paper, the whole tree has to die - roots and all. 29 basketball courts of forests are lost to packaging and fabrics EVERY. SINGLE. SECOND. [Source: Canopy Planet]

We have to urgently find sustainable alternatives to paper and card and that's what FSC Bamboo is! 

SENDING GREENHOUSE GASES PACKING

One of the key benefits of bamboo packaging is that bamboo, like any plant, absorbs CO2 (a greenhouse gas) and releases oxygen, except that it does this better than most other plants, and way better than trees.

By choosing our eco friendly Bamboo packaging, you're supporting the sustainable management of these amazing carbon sinks which play a crucial role in combatting global warming.

ALL’S WELL THAT ENDS WELL

Once it can’t be used any more bamboo packaging can be curbside recycled with paper and cardboard, OR composted.

Because it’s made completely from plant fibres and printed with soy-based inks, it will safely and relatively quickly biodegrade in a compost. Make sure to remove any labels or tape first though, unless they are compostable like these ones.

IT WON'T COST THE EARTH OR YOUR BUSINESS

Our bamboo packaging is not more expensive than paper or card. As a bamboo packaging company, we offer affordable wholesale prices because we believe eco friendly bamboo packaging should be affordable to businesses of all sizes.

FAQ

They are certainly water resistant (watch a video of us pouring water on them here), but not water proof. If you need waterproof mailers, we suggest our POLLAST!C range.  

Bamboo packaging is biodegradable so you can do either, but we would recommend recycling over composting.

Recycling keeps the fibres 'in loop' and is a more circular solution. Composting these would be considered 'downcycling'.

Yes they will - the envelopes will easily fit items that are a couple of cm or an inch or so high - here's a video of us putting a shirt in the smallest size.

Absolutely. You can write on these with a pen, pencil and they stamp beautifully too. Labels also stick no problem.

Our Bamboo packaging is made from the stalks of the plant (not the leaves) in a process similar to paper.

Fabrics made from bamboo (bamboo viscose in particular) have come under recent scrutiny for the volumes of toxic chemicals required in their production.

Bamboo paper and card, does not require the same chemical inputs and in fact uses less chemicals than normal paper.

We also choose to use natural, unbleached paper for our bamboo packaging so that bleaches are not required. Our inks are water-based and the seal strip is a non-toxic, cold melt glue.
