Collection: GreenCane Paper

GreenCane was founded in 2009. It was never as much about starting a business as it was about asking why so much valuable timber was going into low-value products like toilet paper and paper towels.

“It’s wrong that we grow trees for 20 to 30 years to end up as toilet paper, when there is a sustainable alternative,”

Both sugarcane and bamboo are types of grass that are fast-growing in tropical regions and are farm-harvested on an annual basis. Farming them has an extremely low environmental impact, requiring few inputs other than sun and water.

Greencane’s packaging commitment is to be plastic-free and 100 percent biodegradable. For their packaging, they use cardboard, paper and plant-based, compostable clear cellophane.
