Eco-Friendly Bamboo Tableware

What makes bamboo eco-friendly? The eco friendliness of bamboo can be mostly attributed to its ability to grow quickly over a short period of time. In any given day, bamboo can grow 3 to four feet, yielding up to 20 times more than timber trees in the same area. Traditional Chinese and Indian culture place emphasis on bamboo as a tree associated with many positive virtues including longevity, and friendship. In Japan, bamboo forests often surround Shinto temples as a barrier against evil, and in Vietnam, it is considered the physical embodiment of the spirit of the Vietnamese people. Enjoy this culturally rich and environmentally friendly material in the form of chopsticks, trivets, cups, placemats, and more.
