The Cheeky Panda Bamboo Paper Products

The Cheeky Panda is a British eco-friendly brand founded in 2016 by Chris Forbes and Julie Chen. The brand was established with a focus on sustainability, utilizing FSC-certified bamboo as a regenerative alternative to tree-based paper products. By using bamboo, the company aims to reduce carbon emissions and deforestation associated with traditional tissue manufacturing.

While the brand is headquartered in the United Kingdom, its manufacturing operations are primarily located in China. This location is chosen because China is one of the world's largest natural sources of bamboo, allowing the production facilities to be situated near the raw material source to minimize the logistical carbon footprint of the supply chain.

The Cheeky Panda remains a privately owned company, having grown significantly through equity crowdfunding and private investment. It is recognized as a B Corp certified business, emphasizing its commitment to social and environmental performance. The company continues to operate independently under its original founders, focusing on expanding its range of biodegradable wipes, toilet tissue, and facial tissues globally.
