As one of the largest industrial sectors in the world, tissue manufacturing has a huge influence on forests and it accounts for about 15% of deforestation globally! Over the past decade, unsustainable pulp operations have had devastating impacts on some of the most important forests in the world.

At Bambuyu, we believe that trees belong in forests. So instead of making tissues from virgin wood pulp, we use bamboo, a fast-growing, sustainable grass. Learn more about why we chose bamboo on this link. 

About our partnership: 
We have partnered with One Tree Planted to further our support for global reforestation. While we are able to protect forests by using sustainable bamboo pulp, it is great to have one more way to give back and support our planet. Bambuyu pledges to planet 1000 trees within the next 12 months.

Why are trees important:
Trees help to clean the air we breathe, filter the water we drink, and provide habitat for over 80 percent of the world’s terrestrial biodiversity. Trees also provide lasting social impact by providing jobs to over 1.6 billion people, empowering women in underdeveloped nations, and supporting communities that are devastated by environmental damage.

One Tree Planted is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit on that is a mission to make it simple for anyone to help the environment by planting trees. Their projects span the globe and are done in partnership with local communities and knowledgeable experts to create an impact for nature, people, and wildlife.
