Mama Bamboo are committed to donating 20% of net profits to charitable causes every year. In 2025/26 we will continue to support the Ugandan Bamboo Village. We also continue to donate nappies to disadvantaged families in the UK.

Mama Bamboo have developed an 80% compostable bio-based nappy product and a 100% compostable bio-based wipe product. We are committed to continuing to develop product to achieve >90% compostability of core product by 2030.

Industrial composting work

Mama Bamboo are working in partnership with the University College London and other private firms to develop the process of nappy industrial composting to reduce landfill waste and capture valuable nutrients for soil regeneration. Having proven that our nappies and wipes can compost in industrial compost facilities, Mama Bamboo will continue to partner with UCL on the Comfort Loop Programme to develop a viable sustainable circular economy model for all local councils to adopt kerbside collection of industrial compost waste, including nappies and wipes.

Waste reduction in factories
