It's estimated that in the UK we use 1.8 billion cotton buds every year. Most of those have plastic stems and because they are often flushed down the toilet they can end up in the marine environment.
These bamboo cotton buds from Naturally Evergreen are a simple swap from a plastic product to a biodegradable one.
They come in a recycled tube style box that can be easily repurposed or recycled. Each box contains 200 cotton buds.
About Naturally Evergreen
I’ve had a love for the earth and all things nature my whole life and as I’ve got older my awareness of single use plastic feels like it’s on overdrive.
Every time I use or throw away a piece of plastic that has barely been used I feel quite angry that it hasn’t yet been replaced by a better solution.
I looked into what I could do as an individual for solutions in my own home.
I use bamboo toothbrushes, make my own toothpaste, soaps and cleaning products. I use a loofah for washing up and hemp cloths for cleaning.
I make do and mend anything that I have the skills to repair and I upcycle.
One day I came across the wax wrap idea and I was hooked! They are so versatile and useful and they make excellent gifts too and so Naturally Evergreen was born!
Since I began just under a year ago I have discovered a love for wholesale and supplying products to stockists and shops and this is where I want to really grow naturally evergreen.
I’m always looking to improve and evolve and I’m excited about this journey into my plastic free future. I hope to expand my product range as I learn more and I hope you can join me on the adventure
