• How does using bamboo cutlery reduce waste in the long run?

There are actually several ways to use bamboo cutlery to reduce waste.

The first is perhaps the most obvious: if you're using bamboo cutlery , you're not using (and throwing away) plastic! That's one less fork, knife or spoon that will end up in the ocean. Being able to say "No thanks, I have my own cutlery" is a great way to ensure that you as a consumer are not making the plastic problem worse.

Second, by showing that there is a demand for reusable and environmentally friendly products, you are helping to send a message to big business. They say voting with your money is a way to make a difference - and we agree! It's certainly not the only way to make a difference, but it's something you can do every day to show where your priorities are. And big business will listen, if enough people say the same thing!

By rejecting plastic, especially in packaging, single-use forms and non-sustainable forms, you send a clear message to these companies: "I don't want plastic in my life! - and we think they are starting to listen. From banning straws to banning bags, we're seeing a real reduction in these types of products. It's a slow and gradual change, but it's a change nonetheless, and we're delighted to be at the origin of this change!

Third, the use of bamboo itself helps reduce waste. Instead of using metal or wood, bamboo is the most environmentally friendly material currently produced. Bamboo being a grass, it is not necessary to replant it. It is harvested and new shoots emerge from the roots left in the ground. It does not need fertilizers or pesticides and does not require irrigation either. The amount of waste needed to plant and maintain the trees which are then harvested some 30 years later to make wooden utensils is astonishing - and it is something that is not created by growing bamboo.
