Why we picked it

The stick is bamboo and the tip is organic cotton, so the whole swab breaks down after use. Plastic-stemmed swabs are one of the most common items found in beach cleanups, small enough to slip through every filter on the way to the sea. Two hundred to a box, and they do exactly what the plastic ones did.

What it’s made of

Bamboo, cotton. Chosen for what it’s made of, not what it’s wrapped in.

Bamboo
Fast-growing, renewable, and compostable at end of life.
Organic cotton
GOTS-grade fibre that won't shed microplastics in the wash.
