The Cheeky Panda began with a bold, world-changing question: Why are we still making toilet paper from century-old trees when a far more sustainable, fast-growing alternative exists?
In 2016, co-founders Julie and Chris saw the answer firsthand while travelling through Southeast Asia, where they encountered vast bamboo forests regenerating at an astonishing pace. That moment sparked a mission to revolutionize everyday essentials using one of the planet’s most renewable natural resources, and to challenge an industry built for convenience rather than sustainability.
What started as a single bamboo toilet roll has grown into a full ecosystem of environmentally responsible products, including facial tissues, wipes, nappies, period care, kitchen rolls, and more. Each item is crafted to be soft, strong, skin-friendly, and planet-positive, proving that consumers don’t need to compromise comfort or performance to live sustainably.
As a proud Certified B Corp, The Cheeky Panda operates with rigorous commitments to environmental stewardship, ethical sourcing, and social good. Its bamboo is sourced responsibly, its products are FSC-certified, vegan, and cruelty-free, and its entire supply chain is engineered to reduce carbon emissions, protect biodiversity, and challenge the destructive cycle of global deforestation.
Over the years, The Cheeky Panda has transcended the status of a brand to become a global sustainability movement, inspiring individuals, retailers, and organizations to rethink how everyday essentials are made, consumed, and discarded. By harnessing bamboo’s incredible regenerative power, the company is redefining what disposable products can be, renewable instead of wasteful, responsible instead of extractive, and delightfully cheeky every step of the way.
From supermarket shelves to eco-conscious households worldwide, The Cheeky Panda is proving that sustainable living can be simple, accessible, and even fun. Their mission is clear: make bamboo the new normal and lead a future where no tree needs to be cut down for a single-use product ever again.
