Bespoke Product Enhancements
While above is our standard product portfolio, we also know that small to large buyers have specific customer needs. Therefore, we're flexible to innovate and adjust our products to deliver a cotton solution that's entirely bespoke.
- Surface texturing to make the cotton pad or tip better suited for a specific use.
- Natural additives to suit various skin types and specifically for both adult and baby formats.
- Colour or material adjustments to match your brand's vision of the perfect cotton product.
- Packaging design so your customers know 100% that each cotton product belongs to you.
Paper stemmed cotton buds; Softening the blow on the environment
By 2050, it's predicted that plastic in the ocean will outweigh fish.
- Plastic pollution is a world problem, today the ocean is filled with about 165 million tons of plastic.
- Each year, 8m tonnes of plastic ends up in the sea.
- Plastic bags, micros beads and plastic bud stems can end up in our food chain.
We want to make a difference and support a change in people's attitude towards plastic. To do so, we help key retailers in the UK, Europe and the across the world protect marine life, by switching paper and FSC-certified paper stemmed cotton buds.
Because our cotton bud stems offer 50% higher bend-resistance than our competitors, our products maintain consumer confidence.
Progessive Partnerships and Fulfilment
To date, we've removed 267 tonnes of plastic from the cotton wool category.
That's the same weight as 610 grey seals.
