we're excited to announce a milestone that's close to our hearts...
...Bumboo's very first Impact Report. This report isn't just pages filled with data; it's a reflection of our shared journey. It's about the steps we've taken, the challenges we've overcome, and our commitment to keep improving.
reflecting on a transformative year
This past year has been one of growth, learning, and making meaningful strides in our mission. From reaching more customers, to partnering with Eden Reforestation to plant thousands of trees, we've been busy! But a pivotal moment for us was recognising the need to enhance how we test our bamboo pulp—highlighting the importance of constant vigilance and improvement.
upping our transparency game
Discovering that a small number of our products didn't fully meet our 100% bamboo standard was an eye-opener for us. It's important to note that the vast majority of our range was unaffected, but we take any deviation from our high standards seriously. This prompted us to strengthen our approach to quality assurance. We've now implemented comprehensive third-party testing for every product batch. This upgrade in our process ensures that all our bamboo is sustainably sourced and that every item we offer lives up to the high expectations you have for us. Through this report, we aim to offer a clear view of our proactive steps towards even greater transparency, underlining our commitment to doing right by our customers and the planet.
