Shoo-Foo

Shoo-Foo was born in 2006 when owner Dany Filion learned that cotton and textile production was causing major harm to the planet. Bamboo on the other hand is organic, free of pesticides, naturally antibacterial and sourced from one of earth's most sustainable and naturally renewable plants. It is also four times more absorbent than cotton, which makes it great for towels. Thus, a bamboo towel line was launched, followed by a collection of bamboo baby products in 2008, and now, in late 2009, bamboo bed linens. Shoo-Foo's products are ethically manufactured in China close to bamboo forest and transported by ocean freight to Canada to ensure the smallest ecological footprint possible. Packaging of products is no more than a cotton ribbon that displays the Shoo-Foo logo, while boxes are reused for shipping and warehouse space is shared for even more sustainable responsibility.
