Product Review: Biodegradable Bamboo Cotton Swabs

When I started looking into everything I use on a regular basis, I found more and more things which I needed to replace – Cotton buds were one of these items. In order to avoid them ending up in landfill or in our oceans, where it takes 100s of years for them to degrade, I started looking for an alternative

I found some Biodegradable Bamboo Cotton Swabs from HydroPhil at Peace With The Wild. I am happy with the quality, functionality and biodegradability of the product. At the end of the day, I was not expecting a “wow” moment, unlike the shampoo- and conditioner-bars I have tried! It does what it says on the box, and I can use them with a clear conscience.

Another cotton bud product which I have found (on the Northwich Artisan Market) and used since, is equally pleasing: Waste Away stock Just Little Changes‘ Planet Friendly Cotton Buds. These also are made of sustainable bamboo (biodegradable) and have fully recyclable and biodegradable packaging. Another option to consider.
