Can you be sure that the bamboo you use hasn’t displaced old growth forests or destroyed natural habitats?

Our Bamboo Packaging is made from FSC Certified sources

The bamboo used to make our products is certified FSC Bamboo which means that it has been sustainably and responsibly grown and harvested. Looking for products with this certification is indeed the best way to ensure this. The FSC® Principles and Criteria include managerial aspects as well as strict environmental and social requirements describing how to manage forests.

Here is a summary of some of the FSC® Principles and Criteria requirements:

• Prohibit conversion of forests or any other natural habitat
• Respect of international workers rights
• Prohibition of use of hazardous chemicals
• Respect of Human Rights with particular attention to indigenous peoples
• No corruption – follow all applicable laws Identification and appropriate management of areas that need special protection (e.g. cultural or sacred sites, habitat of endangered animals or plants) 

Ensuring that bamboo is sustainably grown, harvested, and managed is crucial. The increasing popularity of bamboo products has led to large areas of land being cleared for bamboo plantations, which can harm wildlife and decrease biodiversity in ecosystems. It is vital to source bamboo from FSC certified suppliers, like ours, to support responsible and environmentally-friendly practices..
