Bamboo is the only available crop on earth which can keep up with consumer demand. It reaches full maturity within 2 years and sustainable harvesting improves forest regeneration. We use Moso bamboo which grows very fast in the mountains. The yield is naturally very high without the use of fertilisers or pesticides or any irrigation. 12-15 feet growth in just 3 weeks has been recorded in the spring season. This provides us with a sustainable, low impact crop as a brilliant alternative to polyesters, cotton, plastics, etc.

Bamboo is also 3x more effective as a carbon sink than any other tree or grass. This makes it the ideal crop for helping to lower CO2 and slowing climate change.

In addition, bamboo is naturally antibacterial and excellent at regulating temperatures against your baby's skin.

Cotton is a very thirsty, intensively farmed crop.

Cotton is mostly grown in monoculture and is a very pesticide-intensive crop. Although it is only grown on 2.5% of the world’ s agricultural land, it consumes 16% of all the insecticides used worldwide. These pesticides are washed out of soils and pollute rivers and groundwater.

If cotton is cultivated intensively, it requires large amounts of water for irrigation. This causes soil salinisation, particularly in dry areas and hence a degradation of soil fertility. The diversion of entire rivers into huge irrigation channels to feed the cotton fields in Central Asia has led to the gradual drying-up of the Aral Lake, one of the largest inland waters in the world.

Cotton production also contributes to climate change. Industrial fertilisers are produced using considerable quantities of finite energy sources (1.5% of the world’s annual energy consumption), releasing large amounts of carbon dioxide. Furthermore, the excessive application of nitrates to agricultural land leads to their being transformed into nitrous oxide which in turn escalates global warming.

We use MOSO bamboo which is harvested only after 3-5 years growth.

One bamboo plant will consist of several poles from which new shoots grow every year. Good practice allows for 20-25% of the poles to be harvested in a bamboo forest each year without any detriment to the density of the forest. Unlike trees, harvesting the bamboo poles in this way does not kill the plant but rather allows for new growth without deforestation.

Mama Bamboo is certified by FSC® (Forestry Stewardship Council ® Certification code C134890) to manufacture and sell Mama Bamboo nappies. You can find out more at https://www.fsc-uk.org/en-uk/about-fsc/what-is-fsc.

The FSC® is the leading authority for responsible wood sourcing. Since 2008 bamboo, though a grass rather than a wood, has been included in the scheme and is closely controlled.

Mama Bamboo’s certification number is NC-COC-026801

Firstly, we chose to transport all our goods as finished products by large container sea freight as this is the least carbon producing option.

Secondly, we have partnered with Uganda Bamboo Village Programme to plant bamboo forests in deforested areas. Each year we calculate our carbon footprint and replant enough bamboo to soak up the equivalent carbon within 2 years.

Bamboo provides a 3x more effective carbon sink than any other tree or grass.

Suppliers are expected to conduct manufacture and testing in accordance with the international guidelines, the current national and local laws and regulations and the strictest medical, scientific and ethical principles. Zero animal testing is tolerated of products or ingredients. Our FCOD aligns to the EU Cosmetic Testing Ban (11/03/13) meaning we will not use any product tested on animals after this date within our supply chain.

We are committed to donating 20% of our net profits to charity every year.

We donate to Ickle Pickles Children's Charity and the Bamboo Village every year. We also offer to match any nappy or wipe donation our customers make to Ickle Pickles, allowing us to donate more products to famailies on the neo-natal wards.

Mama Bamboo and Reposit are on a mission to tackle the growing issue of single-use plastic pollution by offering an innovative returnable packaging platform that works for everyone. Mama Bamboo has always believed in pushing the boundaries towards a fully circular economy, where reuse or return-to-nature becomes the norm rather than the exception, so when it came to deciding on a packaging solution for the babycare range, partnering with Reposit made perfect sense. We want to make it easy for you to return your bottles after use to an in-store return point or by Freepost. The empty packaging is collected and professionally cleaned in Reposit’s state-of-the-art washing facility to be put back to use and reduce waste. You simply have to scan the QR code on teh bottom once the bottle is empty and get a freepost label from the easy-to-use app. In return for doing your part, you'll instantly get a reward to use on your next purchase – saving the planet and saving money at the same time.

Our wipes are made from 100% bamboo cellulose and contain a 99.4% purified water cleansing formula enhanced with soothing aloe vera and moisturizing coconut extract.

These are kinder to baby's skin and suitable for use on newborn and sensitive skins.

The cleansing formula consists of:

• Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract (Aloe Vera)
• Citric Acid – Lemon juice - pH balancer
• Disodium Cocoamphodiacetate - a coconut oil derived moisturiser recommended for sensitive skin
• Propylene Glycol – moisturising ingredient
• Tetrasodium EDTA – a foaming agent to reduce friction on delicate skin
• Potassium Sorbate - prolongs shelf life by stopping the growth of mould, yeast, and fungi.
• Sodium Benzoate - used as a preservative in medicines and cosmetics.

All ingredients have been approved for use in paediatric cosmetic products.

We're very proud to say that our wipes are 100% compostable and will completely decompose within 3 months.

Our wipes are wrapped in 30% recycled PET (recycled plastic bottles) and can be recycled again and again. RPET is one of the most widely kerbside recycled plastics.

Our wipes can be put into your food-waste bin (if permitted by your local council) or they can be composted at home.

If neither of these is possible, they can be disposed of in general waste.

Our wipes will biodegrade in the current UK landfills but at a slower rate than under best practice conditions. UK landfills are not currently managed to promote biodegradability. They are densely packed and lack the natural microbes, oxygen and light.

We are working with local environmental groups to campaign for industrial composting services within council landfills.
