Bamboo cotton buds are 100% biodegradable, whereas plastic cotton buds are often found on the beach and in our oceans. Bamboo is also a sustainable product - it needs no pesticides or fertilizers to grow. Switching to bamboo cotton buds is just one of the small everyday changes that will reduce the amount of waste going to landfills. Plastic-free bamboo cotton buds can be disposed of by simply throwing them into your organic waste or compost.
