What Bambuubrush does

@Bambuubrush Ltd is a UK-based, B Corp certified consumer goods company founded in February 2019 by Tommie and Rebecca Eaton. It designs, sources, and sells bamboo-based alternatives to single-use plastic products — anchored by the bamboo toothbrush (adult and Bambino child variants at £2.99) and extending into reusable water bottles, vacuum double-wall coffee mugs, bamboo cotton buds, reusable straws, cutlery, soap dishes, and a growing ECOLEAF household cleaning range developed with SUMA Wholefoods. Manufacturing is anchored in established Chinese bamboo supply relationships built over the founders' twelve years operating across Asia, with end-to-end control from Moso/Mao bamboo harvesting through vegetable-oil treatment, bristle tufting, and compostable packaging. Notable product features include charcoal-infused PBT bristles and a separate Bespoke Bamboo Product Development service for brands.

The company operates a hybrid go-to-market. Direct-to-consumer sales flow through a Shopify storefront with a subscription option (six-month initial period, monthly renewal, six-week delivery cadence) priced in GBP with free UK shipping above £40. Wholesale runs through SUMA Wholefoods and other ethical-retail stockists, often as co-branded ranges such as ECOLEAF. Enterprise sales target aviation and hospitality customers — Virgin Atlantic (the first bamboo toothbrush brand in airline cabins, September 2019), Etihad Airways, LUSH Cosmetics (global bespoke Henna Tint Brush), Channel 4, and Intuit QuickBooks — for amenity kits, employee engagement, and custom product development. Revenue mechanics are predominantly one-time unit sales supplemented by a single subscription line and bespoke product development services; no SaaS, licensing, or recurring platform fees are disclosed. The company is privately held, founder-owned, bootstrapped with no disclosed external funding, and operates from Hitchin, Hertfordshire with a registered office in Stevenage.
