About Bum Boosa® Bamboo Products

An integral part of Bum Boosa® Bamboo Products' mission is to provide an alternative material (bamboo-derived) for disposable personal care products, specifically baby wipes which are most often made from polymer fibers from petroleum, and bathroom tissue which is commonly made from tree pulp. Tree pulp is the usual source of material for bathroom tissue, and synthetic polymers are the usual source of material for baby wipes. They maintain that by replacing those materials with bamboo fibers for these products, the result would aid in the reduction of deforestation and plastic upsurge in landfills. They are partnered with Trees for the Future and Carbonfund.org.

We became a B Corp because we wanted to be a part of a new generation of companies who believe that success is not only defined by profits, but by the high value placed on our communities, respect for the earth, and our willingness to invest some of our profit back into protecting the environment.

The Change We Seek®

An integral part of Bum Boosa® Bamboo Products' mission is to provide an alternative material (bamboo-derived) for disposable personal care products, specifically baby wipes and bathroom tissue, which are commonly made from tree pulp or polymer fibers from petroleum. Reducing deforestation and also lessening the environmental impact arising from discarded plastic fibers in landfills is the driving force behind Bum Boosa® Bamboo Products. The company equally aspires to make safer baby wipes and other personal care products that disclose all ingredients. Bum Boosa® Bamboo Products wishes to work as advocates for customers and business partners and to create consumer products that have higher environmental and safety standards.

Their desire to improve industry standards goes beyond their products. Bum Boosa® Bamboo Products offset 35 tons of carbon emitted annually and also plants trees representing the sale of products. In the first two years of business, Bum Boosa® Bamboo Products planted 26,600 trees in Brazil, Ghana and Burundi and has a goal of planting twice that many in 2012.

The majority of Bum Boosa® Bamboo Products are made at facilities operating on 100% wind power.
