Cheeky Panda

Sustainable Consumer Goods

Scale

Founded in 2016 from a bedroom startup, Cheeky Panda began with a simple but powerful goal: to change the paper industry. Traditional paper relies on trees that take decades to grow, while bamboo regenerates annually, offering a faster, more sustainable alternative that protects forests and biodiversity.

Through determination and purpose-driven growth, Cheeky Panda has already captured 1% of the UK tissue market and now aims to expand that to 5–10%, proving that sustainability and scale can go hand in hand.

Its mission is to make bamboo-based tissue the new standard, eliminating the need for deforestation while delivering healthier, high-quality products for people and the planet. By reimagining everyday essentials through renewable materials, Cheeky Panda is building a future where no trees need to fall for paper, and every purchase helps protect the Earth.
