Pandas! That’s what we associate bamboo with. But bamboo is also one of the options we have at hand to move towards a more sustainable future. Bamboo is a very fast-growing plant, which gives us even more of a reason to choose it over plastic. As a rapidly renewable resource, it is the perfect option for disposable tableware. Bamboo products are very heat-resistant, tolerating temperatures of up to 200°F. This will ensure you can put food that’s fresh off the stove in a bamboo plate or container, and carry it along with you for your picnic. While being sturdy, it is also very light too! And the best part is that it will become vermicompost if you choose to use it for your kitchen garden. So the next time you go hiking, you know what to choose over plastic!
