Bamboozy’s products aim to replace single-use products, e.g. through selling reusable cotton swabs or stainless steel razors. These two specifically can result in tons of plastic per year that can be found in our oceans and landfills. Moreover, they use recyclable packaging free from plastic, reducing plastic-waste.

By 2024, Bamboozy has saved 380k kg of disposable shaving blades + 3.2 million disposable cotton pads saved + 55 million disposable menstrual products saved, saving this way a lot of waste from ending in our landfills.

Every product is free from toxic chemicals.

After looking for manufactures, Bamboozy has chosen their newest one because of how they treat their staff on the workfloor. Good working conditions are in place in a healthy and safe environment.

Since 2022, Bamboozy is also a member of Social Enterprise, where profit serves to make social impact.
