They incorporate renewable resources like bamboo, hemp, and cork in their designs. As a Certified B Corp since 2018, bambu® meets rigorous standards for social, environmental, and administrative practices. With roots in the Pacific Northwest they gained a strong connection to and respect for the environment. They believe living in harmony with nature is the key to sustainability. After spending time in Asia, they found renewable bamboo to be an ideal material for their plastic-free products. Third-party authentication instills trust in bambu®, with Certified Organic and FSC Certified materials. The Nature Conservancy, American Sustainable Business Council (ASBC), The Ocean Foundation, Forest Stewardship Council, and World Wildlife Federation are among their environmental partners, giving at least 1% of revenue, which is verified by 1% for the Planet.
