We refilled our stock of from .paper! ☁️

One may ask”Why is bamboo considered ?”

To be sustainable, a product must:
- Be made from renewable materials,
- Be durable and long-lasting, and
- Be recyclable or compostable.

It should also have a minimal impact on the environment throughout its entire life cycle, from production to disposal—a pretty tall order for any resource.

While bamboo is a great alternative in many scenarios, there’s also the counter-argument of how bamboo is not as eco-friendly as it appears.

In daily life decisions, it always comes back to the fundamentals of low-impact living. Reusing items will always be the most sustainable option regardless of the material.

Paper products in a commercial space is not an area to reuse, so we made the leap back in 2021 to switch to a better, compostable alternative.

A shout-out and BIG THANKS to our composting partner ! 🌱

For any of our vendor friends looking to learn more, we’ve tagged a few products we order, check their shop out!
