영국 브랜드가 현지 제조에도 불구하고 여전히 대나무 화장지를 수입하는 이유

Does the UK manufacture its own toilet paper, or is most of it imported?”

While the UK does produce toilet roll domestically, most bamboo toilet paper is still imported — especially from Asia — due to the lack of local bamboo pulp production. Brands rely on OEM partnerships to ensure FSC-certified supply.

As a manufacturer, we provide:

• Private label bamboo toilet paper
• FSC-certified, plastic-free packaging
• Flexible MOQ and container shipping

Our UK clients include importers, eco product brands, and hotels. Most prefer:

• Soft, lint-free texture
• Embossed patterns
• Neutral or kraft-style packaging for retail or B2B resale

Who Are the Current Bamboo Toilet Paper Brands in the UK?

While bamboo toilet paper is still a niche segment in the UK, several eco-conscious brands have entered the market, including:

• Who Gives A Crap
• The Cheeky Panda
• Bazoo
• Bumboo

These brands typically focus on:

• Plastic-free, sustainable packaging
• DTC (direct-to-consumer) sales online
• Placement in organic and eco-friendly retailers, such as Planet Organic and Whole Foods

Most UK bamboo toilet paper brands rely on overseas manufacturing and imported bamboo pulp, especially from Asia. As a result, private label opportunities remain open for UK-based distributors and retailers looking to launch their own sustainable toilet paper line.

We support those brands with:

• Custom packaging and embossing
• FSC-certified bamboo pulp
• Competitive OEM pricing for UK clients

Exporting to the UK: What We’ve Seen

From our experience with UK buyers:

• Typical orders are 1–2 containers/month
• Most clients request samples before production
• Sea freight delivery takes 30–45 days, depending on port and logistics

We assist with:

• Custom labeling and design
• Export documentation
• Compliance with UK import standards

Certifications Matter: SMETA & Ethical Sourcing for UK Retailers

If you aim to sell through UK retailers or upscale supermarkets, product certifications aren’t optional — they’re essential.

We support compliance with:

• ✅ FSC (Forest Stewardship Council)
• ✅ BPI (Compostability Certification)
• ✅ SMETA 4-Pillar Social Audit (upon request)

SMETA (Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audit) is increasingly required by UK-based chain stores, especially those with strong CSR policies. It ensures responsible sourcing across:

• Labour rights
• Health and safety
• Environmental protection
• Business ethics

Our factory can provide SMETA reports for partners targeting large retailers or global retail groups.

Conclusion: UK Brands Still Import Bamboo Toilet Paper for Good Reasons
