What is Bamboo?
Bamboo is a renewable, adaptive, rapidly growing grass originating in tropical, humid climates throughout Asia and Africa. Today, it’s found throughout the world and has over 1,000 different species - making it accessible to consumers worldwide.
Why Bamboo?
Bamboo is a renewable resource because it is self-generating and very adaptable - requiring little pesticides to thrive compared to cotton or wood.
It’s diverse and natural properties can be used to create anything from bed linen to clothing to cutlery. However, the process of creating these goods can vary and can be wasteful/harmful towards the environment in some cases (think of the mix of chemicals used in the process).
Why do we love it?
Bamboo is great for hard goods when it’s used in its most rawest form like our reusable Utensil Kits - where limited additives are added to the product. It's important to know that not all bamboo is created equal. We’re proud to partner with ToGoWare who responsibly sourced bamboo on all utensils.
