A small enthusiastic team of perfectionists runs Bambulah. Founded in the Netherlands, we grew up with a strong sense of caring for our environment and our people. Together we work every day to live up to our promise to create beautifully designed mosquito nets. This promise drives us to continuously improve our products, choice of materials, production methods, and working ways.
“Bambulah was established in 2019; sustainability is naturally high on our agenda, today and always.” – Frederique, Head of Design
Quality over quantity
Since the mosquito net industry – polyester mosquito nets in particular– has a significant environmental impact, we strive to do anything within our means to bring you a better and more sustainable product.
It’s in our DNA to create durable mosquito nets: high-quality, well-designed nets that will not end up as waste within a few years of use. Bambulah chooses small production batches over mass production. We never overstock and keep the designs limited. We never waste products at Bambulah: all our unsold mosquito nets will at some point in time be donated to charity. Our designs are timeless, and the quality is long-lasting.
Bali: producing in a zen atmosphere
The largest part of Bambulah mosquito nets is handmade in Bali, at our Atelier where time seemingly stood still. We have chosen Bali because of the appreciation that our craftsmen & craftswomen have for their craft. From the cutting team; to the seamstresses and from the packaging team; to the quality inspectors.
Our partners – primarily small and family-owned – share our love for quality and pride themselves on their craftsmanship. These craftsmen & craftswomen bring all the elements together to form the basis of the lasting quality – and style – of Bambulah bed canopies. It is important to us that we create solid and long-lasting partnerships. Even in the difficult times of Corona, we still work with the same manufacturers with whom we started and started our own Atelier.
Choosing the right fabric
Sourcing suitable fabrics have been a crucial first step in our journey for a more sustainable industry. For cotton & silk, this is somewhat easier than for polyester. Polyester by nature isn’t a natural product, and even though our polyester nets come from certified companies (BSCI/ISO9001), they are still less biodegradable than our cotton mosquito nets.
We always look for ways to improve our processes and minimise our footprint on this beautiful planet. We do this, for example, by:
a). Partnering with suppliers who share our values on environmental & social responsibility;
b). Shipping our goods only with shipping companies who have signed the ‘Getting to Zero Coalition’ initiative. An important initiative to achieve zero carbon emissions from ships and reduce CO2 emissions by 2030;
c). The Bambulah-Forest. We are planting a tree for every order.
We also try to avoid/minimise the use of chemicals in our process. That is why more than 95% of our mosquito nets in an off-white, natural colour.
Small steps make big differences
Bambulah bed canopies come with as little plastic as possible. That is why the bags for our mosquito nets are made of cotton. Even the additional small bag for screws, wall plugs and cords (for mounting the net) is made from cotton. Our packaging, hang tags, printed materials, a.o. are all made of recycled or partially recycled materials.
Our realistic goal: minimise waste
Bambulah’s goal is to find ways to produce polyester nets from plastic waste. Even though we are not currently selling a 100% eco-friendly polyester net, we aim to start selling a part of our polyester collection made from plastic waste by 2025.
We are constantly thinking of ways to reduce waste, with the ultimate goal to have no waste at all.
