About The Boo
The Boo Collective is an Australian-owned family business from regional Victoria, creating practical, good-looking alternatives to everyday plastic products.
We believe choosing something more sustainable shouldn't feel difficult, expensive or like another job on an already overflowing family to-do list. It should simply be an easy swap that works.
How The Boo began
Like many parents, I wanted to make more sustainable choices for my family, but I also needed products that were practical for real life.
In 2015 we started using bamboo toothbrushes as our first eco swap, but they all looked exactly the same. To stop the kids mixing them up, I would write their names on the handles.
It worked. It wasn't exactly pretty.
I started searching for bamboo toothbrushes in different colours and eventually found a factory that could make them. There was just one small catch: I had to order 100 of each colour.
That was far more toothbrushes than our family needed, so I took a chance, placed the order, and hoped other families might love them too.
And that's how The Boo Collective began. What started as a way to stop my kids sharing toothbrushes grew into a colourful range of practical family eco swaps.
Our mission
To make sustainable living feel simple, fun and achievable for everyday families — and to give back to the people who support us.
Millions of plastic toothbrushes end up in landfill and in the ocean every year, and we believe small, easy swaps add up over time. From bamboo toothbrushes to reusable mealtime essentials, we make things designed to help families waste less without giving up convenience, style or practicality.
Sustainability can feel overwhelming, so we care about making it approachable. Positive change doesn't have to mean changing everything overnight. It starts with one small swap.
Made for real family life
Our range has grown to include suction dinnerware, straws, sippy cups and straw cups, all with busy families in mind. Everything we make is meant to be:
- Practical enough for everyday use
- Simple for families to enjoy
- Stylish enough to leave sitting on the bench
- A more thoughtful alternative to unnecessary plastic
Because sustainable products are only useful when people actually enjoy using them.
Progress, not perfection
We're not here to tell families they need to change everything overnight.
We're parents too. We understand busy mornings, messy mealtimes, forgotten school forms and children who suddenly decide they will only drink from the yellow cup.
Living more sustainably is a journey, not an all-or-nothing challenge. One bamboo toothbrush won't solve the world's plastic problem by itself. But small, achievable changes made by a lot of families add up to something bigger.
So start wherever works for you. One brush. One cup. One simple switch at a time.
