Bamboo is an environmentally friendly material because it matures quickly (i.e., ready for harvesting in about 4 years). In addition, bamboo plants prevent erosion and do not require replanting after harvesting because its vast root network continually sprouts new shoots. What's more, bamboo shoots absorb sunlight and greenhouse gases and then convert them to new green growth. Specifically, bamboo absorbs five times as much green house gas and produces 35% more oxygen than an equivalent stand of trees. Bamboo is 100% biodegradable in the right soil conditions and its decomposition process does not cause environmental pollution.
Recycled PET is used to create the carrycase that accompanies each utensil set. You can reduce the number of plastic water bottles that end up in our landfills by purchasing products made from recycled PET. Specifically, each carrycase was made from one plastic water bottle so each 2 pack prevents two plastic water bottles from ending up in a landfill.
Key features of this utensil set:
- Made from sustainable materials
- Zero waste; no more throwaway plastics - Americans throw away enough plastic utensils to circle the earth 300 times.
- Reusable and portable
