Making the switch to plastic-free bamboo cottons buds is better for you, better for the planet and specifically better for marine life. 

Did you know that it's estimated that the UK alone chucks out over 13 billion cotton buds each year. Those often get flushed down the loo and end up in our water system and eventually in the ocean. Plastic cotton buds are one of the most commonly found item in our oceans and they're also used for one of the iconic plastic pollution images. The one with the seahorse carrying it - you know the one I mean. 

Marine life often mistake those plastic sticks for food. They then get stuck inside them causing all sorts of issues. 

Making the switch to bamboo cotton buds couldn't be easier. There isn't a massive price difference and they don't feel any different and can do the exact same job. What they do do is biodegrade. These bamboo cotton buds won't be around for long, you can pop them straight into your garden bin and they will completely disappear.
