A: Over the last few years, bamboo has acquired near “cult” status in the world of eco-products! It’s durability, versatility and quick growth has led to it being used to create everything from toilet paper to sunglasses (and even bamboo computers)!

A: Bamboo cutlery comes in all shapes and sizes, from single-use bamboo cutlery to reusable bamboo cutlery, so let’s break the question down into 3 distinct sections!

A: Bamboo cutlery sets can be sold singularly or in multi-packs. Typically, multipacks of bamboo cutlery are designed for single-use. These types of bamboo cutlery packs are machine-made, extremely thin and easily broken.

A: Bamboo cutlery is non-toxic and chemical-free, so it is safe to use. In fact, due to its naturally antimicrobial properties, and the harmful ingredients that single-use plastic and silicone contains, it is often considered the safer option.

A: Wood and bamboo materials are porous—when they're soaked for too long, they may absorb water, which can cause cracks or molds. It's also best to let your natural tableware air dry.

A: Yes, bamboo utensils benefit from periodic oiling with a food-safe product to maintain their integrity, prevent dryness and cracking, and protect them from moisture.
