Pandas don’t live in the area where this bamboo comes from. Moreover, Bamboo roots remain in place after harvesting, thereby preventing soil erosion and retaining nutrients for the next crop.

Via their partners, Bam&Boo help preserves over 71,000 hectares of the Brazilian Amazon rainforest.

Every year billions of plastic toothbrushes are thrown away which end up in landfills and our oceans. However, Bam&Boo toothbrushes are made of bamboo, with is a natural plant, fully biodegradable.
