A Zero Waste Bathroom

The bathroom is one of the most polluting rooms in the household. If you think about it for a moment, you quickly realize that there are many (care) products that we use once before throwing them away. In addition to Shampoo Bars, Body Bars, and Conditioner Bars, there are many more disposable products in our bathroom that we can replace with sustainable alternatives. Recently, we started our second shop PAPER & BOO to focus on a completely sustainable bathroom. We would like to highlight a few products.

Washable Cotton Pads

Each person uses about 1500 cotton pads per year, so by switching to these environmentally friendly washable cotton pads, you save a lot of waste. You not only save the raw materials and water needed for cotton cultivation but also the plastic bags in which traditional cotton pads are packaged. View the washable cotton pads here.

Bamboo Cotton Swabs

Millions of plastic cotton swabs end up in the oceans every year. "One small piece of disposable plastic can't hurt, can it?" is what many people think. But nothing could be further from the truth. During beach cleanups, plastic cotton swabs are one of the most frequently found items.

These bamboo cotton swabs are 100% biodegradable and a good alternative to plastic cotton swabs. The cotton swabs are made of sustainable bamboo and organic cotton and are therefore harmless to the environment. View the bamboo cotton swabs here.

Bamboo Toothbrush

This bamboo toothbrush is made of sustainable bamboo. The packaging of the toothbrush is fully biodegradable, 100% plastic-free, and therefore harmless to the environment. The toothbrush is up to 96% biodegradable. So you save a lot of plastic. View the bamboo toothbrush here.
