How it all started<\/h3>\n

You\u2019ve probably already seen that famous picture by photographer Justin Hofman of the seahorse grabbed on to a plastic cotton swab stick. What you probably didn\u2019t know is that that same picture was taken in Indonesia.<\/p>\n

As the photographer explained in a recent interview “This image was a perfect combination of our experiences in Indonesia {\u2026} Amazing wildlife, but terrible pollution.”<\/strong><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_video link=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=DZPzExql7XU”][vc_empty_space height=”50px”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1566448075445{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]The reality is that when I (Diego) walk my dog \u2018Chili\u2019<\/em> on the beach, we come across a pretty astonishing number of plastic swab sticks. They\u2019re easily recognizable because they look like blue, pink or white mini plastic straws, and as you can imagine, I have a \u2018plastic waste radar\u2019 built in my brain by now.<\/p>\n

Seeing these small harmful sticks made us think that there had to be an alternative. We looked everywhere for them, in Bali, in Indonesia, in South East Asia, and nothing. We couldn\u2019t find a single producer that actually made them. Luckily, the same person we spoke with about our bamboo toothbrushes<\/a> was able to also provide us with the best bamboo cotton swabs in the market, and like with the bamboo toothbrushes, gave us much more information and transparency than we ever hoped for.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text margin_bottom=”50″ css=”.vc_custom_1566447619314{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]\n

How are our Bamboo Cotton Swabs made.<\/h3>\n

If you\u2019ve read any of the rest of the product \u201chow-to\u2019s\u201d you probably already know the first step is always where to find the bamboo<\/em>. The bamboo we use for our bamboo cotton swabs<\/a> is Moso Bamboo<\/em>, a species of giant bamboo that comes from China. Although bamboo is not considered wood, we still managed to source our Moso<\/em> bamboo from sustainable sources that are FSC certified<\/a> (Forest Stewardship Council).[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”10001428″ img_size=”350×350″ alignment=”center”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”10001427″ img_size=”350×350″ alignment=”center”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text margin_bottom=”40″ css=”.vc_custom_1567062276540{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]El algod\u00f3n que usamos es cultivado org\u00e1nicamente, y aunque no es algod\u00f3n hecho para textiles per se<\/em>, proviene de la misma fuente de textiles certificados GOTS<\/a> (Global Organic Textile Standard).<\/p>\n

El proceso de hacer un bastoncillo de o\u00eddos es muy similar al de hacer palillos de dientes. Un solo tallo de Moso<\/em> Bamboo puede hacer miles de palitos, que luego se envuelven en las puntas con algod\u00f3n org\u00e1nico. Todo el proceso no es realmente artesanal, pero se realiza con los m\u00e1s altos est\u00e1ndares de calidad y seguridad.<\/p>\n

Nuestros bastoncillos de o\u00eddos son 100% biodegradables, por lo que despu\u00e9s de usarlos, puedes tirarlos al contenedor de compost, donde se degradar\u00e1n en cuesti\u00f3n de semanas. Tambi\u00e9n tienen certificaci\u00f3n FSC, FDA, CE y GOTS, por lo que puedes estar seguro de que son de la mejor calidad posible.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1558508364522{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]\n
