Bamboo is an amazingly versatile and renewable material, and we are just beginning to understand the potential implications and uses of this miracle plant. At Golden Arrow, our sustainably crafted packaging solutions are made with bamboo fibers that replace harmful plastic packaging. Here are a few of the reasons why we love working with bamboo.

Harsh artificial lighting is one of the worst parts of working in an office — so why reproduce that at home?

Popularized by the European Union, the concept of a circular economy endeavors to solve the emerging resource problem facing our planet.

Finding a solution now is imperative to ensure we leave enough resources for future generations to utilize.
Sustainability is a loaded concept that conjures a host of different definitions and feelings.

Creating an environmentally-friendly factory process and final product demands an extraordinary commitment to quality and a little elbow grease. While consumers often think about the sustainability of packaging materials themselves, the process to create these products is just as important.
The goal for a green manufacturing process is no waste, no pollution, and no water contamination.
