ECOSLURPS BAMBOO COTTON BUDS - TREE PLANTED WITH EVERY BOX SOLD! With an estimated 1.5 million tonnes of plastic in our oceans and around 100,000 sea mammals dying every year from either eating or getting tangled in plastic waste, the Government has announced a ban on plastic cotton buds from being sold in the UK from 2020. EcoSlurps is a British company committed to providing sustainable alternatives to single-use plastics while also supporting reforestation projects around the world. For every box of 500 bamboo cotton buds that we sell, we pledge to plant a tree through our partnership with the non-profit organization OneTreePlanted. With this purchase, you will receive a Tree Plantation Certificate which makes for a great eco gift for a friend or family member.
