Environmental Details
We know how difficult it can be to tell how much of an impact what you are buying has on the environment, and what effect switching to a more sustainable product has, so we have found out and compiled all of this information for you below.
The ecoLiving Organic Fairtrade Paper Cotton Buds replace plastic cotton buds.
The Cotton Buds are made from 100% FSC certified recycled paper and GOTS certified organic Fairtrade cotton.
These are perhaps the most eco-friendly cotton buds in the world. Let's start with the stalk, it's made from 100% FSC certified recycled paper. That means that no new natural resources were used in making the stalk, saving countless trees from being cut down and allowing natural resources to be used elsewhere. The tip of the Cotton Buds is made from GOTS certified organic cotton. This is grown without the use of synthetic and harmful pesticides and fertilisers, eliminating atmospheric, ground and water contamination. The cotton is also certified Fairtrade, meaning that these Cotton Buds truly do make a difference to the lives of the farmers, workers and their families. The Cotton Buds are made in Europe, which significantly reduces the carbon footprint of transporting them to the UK compared to bamboo alternatives. ecoLiving also plant a tree for every pack of Cotton Buds which is sold - that's in addition to the tree that we plant for every product that we sell, so buying these Cotton Buds plants TWO TREES!
The Cotton Buds are packaged in a recyclable card box.
The Cotton Buds are 100% home compostable, so can be placed in your compost bin.
