BAMBUHAY is a social and climatech enterprise, born in the Philippines. Their mission is to make a positive environmental impact by producing bamboo-based alternatives to plastic products while supporting reforestation and providing livelihoods to Indigenous People Farmers. Bambuhay’s flagship innovation is the first plantable toothbrush in the world that can be grown into a native tree after used. Customers can grow their very own tree by planting the toothbrush after three months of using it. To date, they lift 69 families out of poverty, reduce plastic pollution, and reforest 725 hectares of land.
