Bamboo is a plant (and not a tree, although it may seem like one) known and used for more than 6,000 years.    It's a fast-growing, wild-type grass that can reach 30 meters in height and live for up to 100 years. Because it grows so quickly, it can regenerate in a year with very little water and no fertilizer. Furthermore, its resistance to pests means it doesn't require pesticides, making it a renewable, resilient, and environmentally friendly resource.   

Asians, pioneers in the use of bamboo, employ it in various sectors such as construction, industry, and medicine. In Europe, it is ideal for replacing plastic in most of the objects we use daily, promoting sustainable living and reducing the impact of traditional plastic use.

Use of Bamboo in Personal Hygiene

One of the most used and discarded plastic products is the toothbrush. This basic hygiene item takes over 500 years to decompose. Each person uses an average of one toothbrush every two months; the amount discarded is enormous.

Now there are toothbrushes with bamboo handles, hair combs, and ear swabs.

These products are highly resistant to water and moisture. At the end of their useful life, they are disposed of in the organic waste bin. Biodegradable, like a piece of plant reed, they will not leave any plastic particles in the soil or oceans.

Bamboo in your kitchen

It goes without saying how harmful it is to use plastic utensils or food containers in the kitchen. There are many studies and articles that explain how additives added to plastic during the manufacturing process can leach into food, especially when heated.

Bamboo contains no fertilizers or chemicals, so its use is completely safe in the kitchen.

Products such as lunchboxes, cutlery, glasses, jerrycans and bottles, and cutting boards are all customizable with your logo or advertising message.
