Sustainable Bamboo Kitchen and Dinnerware

Later last week, I went to a local vineyard along with my fiancee and some friends. Every week the vineyard has local farms musicians and food demonstrations.

A seafood restaurant was serving samples of oysters. I was excited to see that when I went to grab a plate and fork, that they were all made of bamboo. On the back of the plate was the name of the company, Bambu.

Bambu has a range of bamboo made products including plates, utensils, cutting boards and even cutlery. All of their products are made from bamboo organic, meaning that is sustainably harvested and free of fertilizers or pesticides. They even use environmentally friendly packaging. The cardboard used is made from recyclable fibers and soy-based ink is used for the printing.

The biggest problem with Bambu products is the price. I wanted to get an idea of how much some of their products cost and I was able to find that each plate costs about $.80 per plate and under a dollar for a set of utensils. That is pretty steep considering that they are disposable products. I asked the chef about the plates and he said that he got a pretty good discount when buying in large quantities. If you are serious about getting rid of plastic disposable products, these are the way to go.
