Host: Liz Entin, Why Get Wasted

Joslyn Faust⁠ is the founder of HeyBamboo, an eco-safe toilet paper made entirely of bamboo.

“During the pandemic I learned a lot about toilet paper that surprised me,” says Faust. Like, approximately 27,000 trees are cut down every day to make toilet paper. That’s 15 million trees and 15% of our Earth’s forest literally getting flushed down the toilet every year."

HeyBamboo uses highly renewable bamboo to minimize deforestation and water usage. Each roll is individually wrapped in compostable bamboo paper printed with soy-based ink, and the core is even made of bamboo. Products are shipped in recyclable cardboard boxes with paper tape instead of plastic, making HeyBamboo totally plastic free and zero waste. Certified by the Forest Stewardship Council as sustainably sourced. Furthering its commitment to reforestation, HeyBamboo plants a tree for every purchase through One Tree Planted and recently launched partnerships with several charitable organizations to donate product to families in transition.
