According to KOOSHOO's estimates, every day around 20,000 pounds of hair elastics are created in the US daily! Made from petroleum, these hair ties never break down, and end up polluting our waterways and hurting marine life. To change that stat, KOOSHOO has created the first completely biodegradable hair tie. The Classics Organic Hair Ties come in a variety of earthy colors, and double as a bracelet when not in your hair. They're meant to be a long-term solution, but if one goes missing, you can rest easier knowing it's 100% plastic-free and biodegradable! Made from GOTS certified organic cotton and natural rubber, when composted properly this hair tie will completely go back to the soil in just seven years.

Natural rubber is harvested by tapping the Havea tree and collecting the sap. Sustainably harvested rubber comes from forests that are carefully managed to avoid over-tapping, ensuring healthy rubber trees for the future. Some sustainable rubber tree management prohibits clear cutting to plant rubber plantations, and ensures the livelihoods of native peoples and local workers.
