About us
About the company 🇬🇧
We're a small family-owned business in Wiltshire, England. We named our toilet roll Boono on behalf of a family member's nickname, mainly as a joke. They appreciate the name.
Why Bamboo Toilet Roll? 🧻
We chose bamboo because we were looking for sustainable alternatives to the 'normal' toilet roll we get down at the supermarket and thought we could do better.
After doing some research and finding that trees used for toilet roll typically take a decade or more to reach maturity before they can be harvested, we looked into bamboo paper. Bamboo takes a lot less time to mature - around 3-5 years - which means it produces fewer emissions, uses less energy and water, and fewer pesticides. We decided that we wanted to try out making and selling our own.
