Who We Are
Bamboo Switch® is an eco-conscious lifestyle brand based in White Bear Lake, Minnesota, dedicated to providing sustainable, bamboo-based alternatives for everyday living. From kitchen utensils to bathroom essentials, our products are designed to help you make easy switches that reduce plastic waste and promote environmental stewardship.
Our passion for sustainability stems from our founders, Alex and Jordan. Alex, who grew up in Germany with a deep respect for nature, and Jordan, a dedicated nurse, saw firsthand the environmental and health impacts of plastic pollution. Their shared commitment to creating a healthier planet for future generations led to the birth of Bamboo Switch®.
How We Got Started
The idea for Bamboo Switch® sparked when Alex and Jordan became parents. They realized the importance of making sustainable choices not just for themselves, but for their children’s future. Witnessing the overwhelming amount of plastic waste in their daily lives, they were determined to make a change—starting with their own household.
As they learned more about the benefits of bamboo as a sustainable material, they saw an opportunity to make it accessible to other families. Bamboo grows incredibly fast, requires minimal water, and doesn’t need pesticides or fertilizers, making it one of the most sustainable resources on the planet. The vision was simple: to offer eco-friendly alternatives that could seamlessly replace plastic items in homes across the country. That’s how Bamboo Switch® was born - it all started with a bamboo toothbrush!
Our Mission

We believe that every conscious choice you make, no matter how small, has a ripple effect on the environment. By providing high-quality, bamboo-based products, we aim to make it easier for people to switch to a more eco-friendly lifestyle!
