The Cheeky Panda

The Cheeky Panda was created by Chris and Julie who decided to create a more natural and sustainable alternative to tree-based tissue. As bamboo is the world’s fastest growing plant that doesn’t require fertilisers, they felt this was a perfect solution for a world struggling with stretched resources.

The business began by selling just toilet rolls, but the range has since grown to include facial tissue, pocket tissue, kitchen towel and soon wet wipes. Chris says “…we realised that most regular tissue contains bleaching and chlorine that can cause irritation, by doing the right things well we have created a better product.”

Whilst developing the product range they have also focused on building a brand that will educate the market on the benefits of bamboo as a more healthy choice, without compromising on softness or strength.
