Did you hear, plastic-stemmed cotton buds are being banned in the UK? Yup – it’s the next step that’s being taken by the Government in an effort to reduce unnecessary single-use plastic waste.

The cotton-bud ban is planned to take place next year, in an effort to reduce plastic waste from entering our waterways. This is all part of the Department of Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs (Defra)’s 25-year Environment Plan.

Thankfully, you won’t have to live a bud-less existence. Eco-friendly cotton bud makers, like Auklett, are here to provide an Eco alternative to traditional buds. The Auklett bamboo-stemmed cotton buds are cleaning up our environment – just like they are cleaning up our makeup mistakes and our ears!

These 100% biodegradable cotton swabs are made from bamboo and soft cotton making them completely natural and the perfect alternative to plastic cotton buds.

How many plastic cotton swabs have ended up in our oceans or in a landfill, polluting the earth taking hundreds of years to degrade!

Changing to these bamboo cotton buds will help protect nature and wildlife that is harmed by the plastic we produce.
