Our take
The Cheeky Panda is offering the tissue market a sustainable and health conscious alternative. They make tissues from virgin bamboo kun, a hybrid of the bamboo species, that are free from harsh chemicals found in regular tissues and saving thousands of trees and animal habitats around the world.
The Cheeky Panda tissues are the first in the UK to be Vegan registered. The co-founders Julie Chen and Chris Forbes are dedicated to preserving the natural environment by investing back into protecting the rain forests and being carbon balanced.
The company's success is manifested in its products which are already stocked in over 25 countries and with leading retailers such as Amazon, Ocado, Boots, Monoprix, Carrefour, Good Eggs and Rite Aid.
