Over the past decade, the hospitality and aviation industries have made meaningful progress in reducing plastic through bulk liquid dispensers and refillable systems. Yet one major category has remained largely unchanged: dry amenities.
Items such as toothbrushes, combs, vanity kits, shower caps, and grooming accessories are still widely produced using conventional plastic formats, often distributed in large volumes across hotels, airlines, and travel environments every day. As sustainability expectations, regulatory pressure, and procurement standards continue to evolve, this category has become one of the most important next steps for organisations seeking measurable material transition.
Today, @BambuuBrush is formally introducing its next phase of growth and mission:
The Sustainable Dry Amenity Brand, a specialist system designed to help hospitality and airlines remove plastic at scale.
A new chapter for @BambuuBrush
Since launching, @BambuuBrush has focused on developing bamboo-based alternatives to traditional plastic oral care and hospitality products. Over time, our work with global partners across aviation, with the likes of Virgin Atlantic and Etihad Airways, within hospitality, and retail with LUSH Cosmetics and SUMA has revealed a clear industry gap. While many suppliers offer dry amenities as secondary products, few organisations specialise in building complete sustainable dry amenity range that can be standardised across multiple properties or fleets.
Our new strategic direction focuses on becoming the global specialist authority in sustainable dry amenities, continuing to work towards our mission of stopping 1,000,000kg of plastic toothbrushes entering commercial settings by 2030 and supporting hospitality groups, airlines, and travel operators with: Standardised plastic-free dry amenity ranges, Procurement-ready supply systems, Measurable plastic reduction reporting, Scalable rollout across international operations

Why sustainable dry amenities matter now.
The conversation around sustainable hotel amenities and sustainable airline amenities is rapidly shifting from marketing initiatives to operational priorities. Procurement teams and sustainability departments are increasingly focused on reducing Scope 3 emissions, simplifying packaging reporting, and aligning supplier choices with environmental commitments.
Dry amenities represent one of the most practical opportunities to deliver immediate impact because they are:
- High-volume, guest-facing items
- Easy to standardise across locations
- Operationally simple to transition
- Highly visible indicators of sustainability commitments - plastic reduction
For many hospitality organisations, transitioning dry amenities offers one of the fastest pathways to measurable plastic reduction without disrupting the guest experience.
From products to systems: the @BambuuBrush approach
The Sustainable Dry Amenity Brand is not built around individual products alone. It is designed as a complete operational system that helps partners move entire amenity categories away from plastic formats in a structured way.
This includes:
Impact measurement
Our plastic removed impact calculator supports internal sustainability reporting and progress tracking.
Education, engagement and action
Circularity workshops and sustainability sessions help teams understand how material transitions contribute to wider ESG strategies and offer brand engagement projects through @BambuuBrush clean up teams to inspire employees and stakeholders to take action in their local environment.
Implementation and rollout
Standardised SKUs and procurement-ready supply ensure smooth adoption across properties and airline fleets.
By combining education, action, and long-term material reinforcement, @BambuuBrush supports organisations in turning sustainability commitments into operational reality.
Leading the next phase of sustainable hospitality amenities
As guest expectations continue to evolve, sustainable hotel amenities and sustainable airline amenities are no longer optional differentiators. They are becoming an essential part of responsible operations, brand credibility, and long-term procurement strategy.
Our mission on this project moving forward is clear:
To help hospitality and aviation organisations remove plastic at scale through sustainable dry amenity systems that are measurable, operationally simple, and designed for global deployment whilst creating vital and visual impact.
We are excited to work alongside partners across hotels, airlines, cruise operators, and hospitality groups as the industry moves into the next era of sustainable amenities.
