We cut down on standard packaging (box) and plastic wrap by 80%, and we believe we still have something sustainable and beautiful to present our products.

The packaging acts as a wrapping, offering a double-sided label space for a message, which removes the need for gift wrap. It's already a gift.

If the product is purchased to keep, there is a small piece of kraft paper, a hemp string and a label to recycle or reuse. Reuse for art and crafts, for example.

We looked into a few materials before choosing bamboo straws. Some of the materials are listed below:

First, we looked at paper as a material. Paper straws can be made by glueing the paper into a straw shape. Because the glue is not recyclable or healthy we decided not to made straws with paper. (Unfortunately, the same applies to all artificial straws. )

Second, we looked at stainless steel. Stainless steel straws could have come in handy. The issue with stainless steel was in the manufacturing process. It takes 8-12 chemicals to produce it. Some are listed here - carbon, nitrogen, silicon, sulfur, titanium, nickel, copper, selenium, niobium, molybdenu. Learn more Wikipedia, How is stainless steel is made? link >>. 

We eventually decided on bamboo as it is in the shape of straw by nature, grows quickly, and needs no fertiliser. In comparison to other straws, it is 100% natural and requires no additional resources to manufacture. A natural, stylish way to drink a healthy meal wherever you are without contributing to the plastic crisis.

How do I take care of bamboo straws?

Clean with soapy water, or in the dishwasher safe.Use the sisal cleaning brush to clean the inside of the straws thoroughly.

Are they compostable?

Yes, straw and straw bag are compostable. The straw brush is recyclable.

General FAQs

Does My little Panda have any quality controls?

All of our orders for materials from outside of the UK are done in bulk, 10000 at a time or more, and they are stored in our London warehouse for quality control and assembly by UK workers.

Product assembly: Assembled and tested in the UK, by stay-at-home home parents, OAPs, and less mobile people.

Ethical sourcing: At My Little Panda, we ensure all our products are being sourced and manufactured in a responsible and sustainable way. We check that the workers involved in making them are safe and treated fairly, and that environmental and social impacts are taken into consideration during the sourcing process.

Import to the UK: We use sea freight to import all of our products to the UK. "A Defra study concludes that 2 tonnes of freight carried for 5,000km by a small container ship creates 150kg of CO2e (a measure of relative global warming potential) compared to 6,605kg of CO2e if the freight is carried by plane for the same distance. A clear difference."
