The first product was bamboo toothbrushes. “When we developed the tooth brush, many environmental protection organizations like GREENPEACE and Taiwan Environmental Information Association approached us and offered me information a lot,” said plainly 林家宏, founder of the Company. “Look, a straw was pulled out of the turtle’s nostril…, things like that, they kept talking; it was then that the association of environmental protection with bamboo was made more closely.” In the beginning, it was only known that life was full of plastic products, which, however, people seemed to be used to and thought as normal, and their thinking about environmental protection was nothing more than not littering and sorting the trash properly.

Then, these were developed; it was not meant to make everyone go back to the era where it was all natural. I thought it unlikely; but, at least people have choices.” “Just like we can remember that tooth brushes were plastic in the first place, and we have no choices. That became an unconscious and intuitive consumption. But, once with these choices, you become aware and you can support them by your consumption pattern. The future consumption mode will become a better cycle.
