Bamboo Makeup Brush Set – 11 Pieces

Environmental Impact Score: 7.1 / 10

Sustainability Rating: Very Good

Category Scores

• Material choice — 1.5 / 2
Bamboo handles and a jute pouch are renewable, but the bristles are synthetic, and the ferrule and glue materials are not specified by the supplier.

• Reusability — 2 / 2
Eleven brushes made to be washed and reused for years rather than replaced.

• Durability / lifespan — 1.2 / 1.5
Makeup brushes like these last for years with regular cleaning, though the bamboo handles should be kept dry between washes.

• Recyclability — 0.3 / 1
Each brush combines bamboo, synthetic fibres and other parts the supplier doesn't specify, so it can't go in kerbside recycling as it is.

• Biodegradability / compostability — 0.5 / 1
The bamboo handles and jute pouch break down under suitable conditions, but the synthetic bristles do not.

• Renewable / recycled / lower-impact material — 0.7 / 1
Bamboo and jute are renewable materials, but the synthetic bristles are not, and the bamboo's sourcing is not specified.

• Replaces a wasteful product — 0.6 / 1
Replaces plastic-handled makeup brushes, which are reusable products rather than single-use ones.

• End-of-life disposal — 0.3 / 0.5
Only the bamboo and jute parts can break down under suitable conditions, and the synthetic bristles and any other parts go to general waste.

Key Sustainability Strengths

• Bamboo handles instead of plastic
• Synthetic bristles with no animal hair
• Jute storage pouch included
• Reusable for years with regular cleaning

Sustainability Limitations

• Synthetic bristles are not biodegradable, and the fibre type is not specified by the supplier
• Ferrule and glue materials are not specified by the supplier
• Bamboo sourcing is not specified by the supplier
• Mixed materials can't go in kerbside recycling

Overall Assessment

A long-lasting brush set that swaps plastic handles for bamboo and comes in a jute pouch. The synthetic bristles and unspecified ferrules and glue limit how much of it can be recycled, or break down under suitable conditions, at the end of its life.
