Spills happen. A pan bubbles over, a glass tips, the dog knocks the water bowl. You need a kitchen roll that cleans fast, holds together when wet, and does not cost the earth. That is where Bumboo Bamboo Kitchen Rolls step in. They deliver strong absorbency and reliable strength, without cutting down slow-growing trees.
Made from 100% bamboo, Bumboo offers a simple switch that reduces waste and keeps your home safer. The sheets are food safe, free from inks and dyes, and certified PFAS-free. The packaging is plastic-free and made from recycled cardboard with plant-based inks. Every order supports nature recovery.
Due to concerns that some bamboo kitchen rolls have been founded to be blended with acacia (deforestation concerns) or eucalyptus (flammable trees with wildfire concerns). Bumboo has independent third-party testing on its site, to confirm its kitchen rolls are 100% bamboo (industrial bamboo is a fast-growing grass, not the same as fresh shoots eaten by pandas).

Do not flush kitchen roll, it is designed to stay strong in water (so could block toilets). If the sheet is clean or lightly used, add it to your home compost. Tear or shred it first to speed breakdown. If it has grease or food residue, oily sheets are better in the bin. Local rules vary, so check food waste guidance in your area.
Why Bamboo Kitchen Rolls Are Better
Traditional kitchen rolls often start in boreal forests. These forests store carbon and shelter wildlife, yet logging for paper products puts pressure on both. When trees are cut, carbon locked in wood and soils can be released, habitats shrink, and recovery takes decades. A roll may be used in seconds, but the cost to nature can last for years.
Bamboo offers a different path. It grows to maturity in months, not decades, and does not need pesticides or fertilisers to thrive. When harvested, the plant does not die, it regrows from the same root system. That means more fibre from less land, and a lower strain on forests. Put simply, bamboo renews faster than we use it.
Bumboo sources 100% bamboo from well-managed, FSC certified forests, then packages rolls without plastic for a smaller transport footprint. The sheets are free from the chemicals linked to paper recycling, such as de-inking agents and formaldehyde, and they contain no scents or dyes. They are also certified PFAS-free by FIDRA. This keeps the product safe for food contact and kinder to indoor air.
Bamboo’s Fast Growth Saves Forests
Bamboo behaves more like a grass than a tree. It shoots up quickly, often reaching harvest-ready height within a growing season. Farmers cut the stems, the roots remain, and fresh culms grow back in months. This cycle reduces soil disturbance and protects local biodiversity.
Boreal forests tell a different story. Logging can disturb peat-rich soils, which hold large amounts of carbon. Once disturbed, these soils can release carbon into the air. Replacing a felled tree with a seedling is not an instant fix, since mature trees take decades to return. Swapping to bamboo helps reduce pressure on these carbon stores and keeps ancient habitats intact.
Bamboo also needs less water than many tree species, and it grows well without pesticides. That lowers the chemical load on land and waterways. The fast renewal cycle, paired with clean growing practices, makes bamboo a smart fibre source for everyday paper goods.
Bumboo’s Reforestation Impact
Impact needs proof, not slogans. Bumboo supports reforestation through Eden Reforestation Projects, with more than 209,000 trees planted to date. That work helps restore habitats, stabilise soils, and support local communities.
The rewilding pledge ties your purchase to measurable action. For every square you use, Bumboo restores double that area in nature. Buy a large box and you contribute to a meaningful patch of land, like the 288 square metres restored when customers order 48 toilet rolls. The principle carries across the range, linking each home task to positive land recovery.

These details add up to a better daily experience. You get a roll that works like you expect, and a product that cuts out the extras you do not want.
Strong Absorbency And Durability
Kitchen life is messy, so sheet strength matters. Bumboo’s 2-ply construction combines quick absorbency with wet strength. Wipe a spill on a stone countertop, and the sheet lifts the liquid without breaking apart. Clean a saucy splash on the hob, and the fibres hold while you scrub.
Real-life examples:
- Drying washed fruit, then buffing the sink dry, with one sheet per task.
- Mopping up cooking oil from a frying pan before washing.
- Blotting spills on wood, then finishing with a gentle polish.
- Patting herbs or salad leaves dry without leaving lint.
The sheets feel soft in hand, yet they do not tear at the first sign of a sticky mess. That reduces waste because you use fewer sheets per job.
Subscription Perks For Easy Access
Subscriptions take the admin out of restocking. Set an interval that matches your usage, then receive regular deliveries without a second thought. Bulk buys often bring better value and fewer trips, which drops your transport footprint over time.
Bumboo offers 6-pack and 12-pack options for kitchen rolls, packed in bulk with no plastic. Choose a size that suits your space and routine. Busy homes often prefer the 12-pack to reduce reordering, while smaller households may find the 6-pack ideal.
Regular orders also support ongoing reforestation and rewilding. Each delivery renews your supply and keeps the restoration work moving.
