From humble beginnings… In 2010 we started with a smart idea: we want to introduce wipe dispensers on the European market. These machines were produced in China, but could not meet the EU standards. We started a redesign of the product and wanted to do something different than other producers. Instead of cotton or paper we used bamboo non-woven. We chose bamboo because we want to be really eco-friendly and take care of our environment. However we discovered that redesigning of the dispenser wasn’t the first step we had to make. During this process people got very enthusiastic about the rolled bamboo wipes our dispensers produced and people wanted to have them available everywhere they went. The idea of a single packed wipe was born. We tried several qualities of non-woven and paid a lot of attention to natural disinfectants as well as to natural fragrances. Especially the latter one was a big challenge. However it was hard to find a smell that everybody likes. Finally we succeeded and we found an awesome nice natural fragrance that is loved by people all over the world. At that point we stepped into the big world and finally founded early 2014 our present Dutch company, Coolhands BV. We’d got requests from all over the world and solely enthusiastic reactions. This story became even more interesting when we finally chose our natural disinfectant. We didn’t want to use alcohol as a disinfectant, to be able to deliver to muslim countries. We chose bioflavonoids as a perfect natural solution. With our disinfectant, Path-Away, we have found an ultimate solution for our purposes and the supplier turns out to be a very interesting partner. As they say “using nature to combat nature’s ills”. So, after 3 years of product development, we can honestly say that we are proud to provide the first rolled individually packed multi-purpose bamboo wipe in the world, which conquers numerous yields, bacteria and fungi.
