Bamboo Studio's line of BambooWare items are designed for the ground up to be as eco-friendly as possible. The process begins by taking the fiber of bamboo plants five years or older and grinding it into a fine powder. Utilizing a patented process, they mold this material into the sturdy, long-lasting items featured in our BambooWare line. They retain all the strength and beauty of traditional plastic material such as Melamine, but with the added benefits of sustainability - our bowls, plates, cups and utensils are all 100% biodegradable.
