Biodegradable Bamboo Cotton Buds (200 Stems)
Cotton swabs are single-use personal care items only used for a few minutes and then disposed of immediately. Commonly used plastic-stemmed cotton buds take extremely long years to decompose because they are made with plastics and other non-biodegradable materials. These can also end up in the sea which causes harm to undiscerning animals that consume them. Researchers have found fragments and even whole sticks of cotton buds in seabirds and turtles. Like any other plastics, once ingested the fragments may remain trapped in the digestive tract or cause internal damage.
Our bamboo cotton buds, on the other hand, are biodegradable and compostable. These are made with organic cotton and bamboo which are natural materials that decompose easily, and for that reason, they pose little or no threat to the surroundings and are environmentally friendly.

We try to avoid plastic products as much as we can, especially those that are not recyclable so I was very happy to find these and have re-purchased them since.
Thank you so much for your continued support, Evan. Let's continue to make choices with the planet in mind.
I love how these cotton buds feel exactly like regular cotton buds. Great quality! Our Green Intent is my new go-to shop for eco-friendly product needs!
Thank you so much, Meldie! This is also the reason why we love our Bamboo Cotton Buds. Looking forward to your next eco-friendly and sustainable purchase.
I am very happy to find these 100% plant-based cotton buds with bamboo stem since we avoid single-use plastic products as much as we can. It works just as well as the conventional plastic cotton buds but the best thing is I could just toss it into my compost after use, and the packaging too when it runs out. But it looks like this will last for a long time since it comes in 200 sticks. I highly recommend it!
Thank you so much for the tip and feedback, Dianne. This is also one of our favorite sustainable swap.
