Maker Story
My name is Xiao Li Lin, I am 36 years old, I have been working with the company for 8 years. I have found well paying, consistent and satisfying work through this job.
I live in Nanping County with my family and my hobbies are dancing and shopping. Nearly every evening after I finish work, I go to practice dancing. It brings me a lot of joy and also keeps me healthy,
I’m one of the people who is responsible for making bamboo toothbrushes. I polish the bamboo and make it super smooth. Then also ensure the bristles are in properly. I hope you love the toothbrush as much as I do.
The production facility is based in Fujian province in China.
The minimum wage of this province is 1,380 RMB per month, but the artisans are paid nearly double the minimum wage at 2,550 RMB per month. The youngest person to work there is of the age of 22.
Makers work 40 hours a week, 5 days a week. They take all public holidays off.
The artisans are provided with pension and unemployment insurance. As well as with medical, maternity and accident insurance.
The bamboo toothbrushes are shipped via sea freight to minimise the carbon footprint of each product. We offset our carbon emissions and more by planting a tree for every item we sell.
The product does not have any animal derivatives and no plastic. So it's 100% Vegan and plastic-free.
