With awareness for environmental issues on the rise across the planet, The Future is Bamboo, a family owned and operated company from Quebec, Canada decided to do more than just talk about it: they decided to get to work.
After extensive market research, trial and error, they launched their first bamboo toothbrush collection in November 2017. But having a great bamboo toothbrush wasn’t enough : it needed to be affordable and reputable. Bamboo toothbrushes were somewhat available online back then from obscure vendors with no certifications, and quite expensive.
We wanted to change that.
We wanted to stand by products that everyone can afford and easily picked up at their favorite grocery store and pharmacy.
THE MISSION IS SIMPLE :
Make eco-friendly products accessible and affordable to everyone.
They are proud to be the first and only Canadian bamboo brand to hold the following certifications :
P.E.T.A.’s Vegan and Cruelty-Free, F.S.C. [Responsible Forestry], as well as being BPA free.
From biodegradable bamboo toothbrushes to now a full range of eco-friendly home essentials, grateful to provide products that make your everyday life a lot kinder to our Planet.
Low Waste
Their C02 offset program allows them track their supply chain impact and offset by planting trees.
Make minimal packaging that breaks down naturally.
They avidly strategize ways for their products to be LOW WASTE and create value for you, and also lower the overall waste impact for all of us.
Reasons to Love Bamboo
100% biodegradable. Meaning it will decompose into soil and go back to the Earth.
Earth's lungs. Bamboo absorbs carbon dioxide and releases 35% more oxygen into the atmosphere than an equivalent of regular mixed forests.Bamboo offers a chance to drastically protect the forests that we have left.
Zero deforestation. When it is harvested, it will grow a new shoot from its extensive root system with no need for additional planting or cultivation.
Very little waste. After harvesting, virtually every part of the plant is used to make a wide variety of products. From soil-enriching mulch to toothbrushes, straws, utensils, to even furniture! Every part of the plant can be utilized.
No fertilizer, pesticides, or herbicides needed. Bamboo requires no agricultural chemicals to thrive. Yay!
Economic development. Bamboo production and the manufacturing of bamboo products provides job opportunities in areas that desperately need social and economic stability. We currently source from China & Vietnam, where MOSO bamboo is widely available from responsible farmers.
Prevent Polution
Billions of plastic objects pollute our oceans and landfills yearly, polluting our planet at a terrifying rate.
Devastatingly, almost 1 million acres of forests are lost each week worldwide to deforestation to keep up with demand.
Bamboo's sustainability and versatility as a plastic substitute for everyday essentials is a responsible and ecological solution.
