Bamboo cutlery is a solution, not to some imaginary problem invented for marketing reasons, but to the genuine issue of plastic pollution in our environment. It's an elegant, ethical alternative to plastic cutlery, which has no place in an eco-friendly future.
"There are many good reasons why bamboo is a better material for kitchen utensils, picnicware or party supplies than the alternatives."
Picnic, Events, WeddingsWe've all used paper plates and disposable cutlery at parties and picnics. They're part of the fun, reinforcing the idea that we're living in the moment. The paper plates are less of an environmental issue because they're biodegradable, but plastic cutlery is a genuine eco-threat.
The problem with plasticIs that it never goes away. It just breaks down into tiny pieces of microplastic, which pollute our seas and the air we breathe. Throw plastic cutlery away, and it's out of sight and out of mind, but the time has come to stop thinking in those terms.
The Bamboo Cutlery BenefitsThere are three good reasons why bamboo is a better material for kitchen utensils, picnicware or party supplies than the alternatives. Those reasons are biodegradability, reusability, and sustainability. Bamboo offers all three.
Overwhelming AdvantageThe overwhelming advantage a bamboo flatware set has over plastic is that it's biodegradable. Yes, you can use plastic cutlery again, but a lot of it is casually thrown away. Bamboo is reusable and decomposes after you do finally put it in the bin.
What About Wooden Cutlery? Wood is biodegradable and reusable, so it's a better choice than plastic, but it's less durable than bamboo and more prone to staining and splintering. Plus, bamboo is a grass which is more sustainable than wood and produces 40% more oxygen than trees. It reduces CO₂ in the air at a higher rate, so is an ally against global warming.
“Keep save by using natural cutlery, sometimes the only way forward it's by going backwards. Is important for you, your kids, family and loved ones. Convenience and staying healthy don't mix."
Wood Holds On Wooden products also hold onto odours and oils, and after time the buildup of oil in wooden spoons and other kitchenware can become unsanitary. Bamboo is naturally more resistant to bacteria. Many kinds of wood used for cutlery contain tiny little holes that are porous and can allow oil and germs to seep in and sit there, whereas bamboo is a tighter knit material making it much harder for anything to get into it.
Paper Of course also comes from trees and is biodegradable. But those paper plates we use (non-recyclable) are wasteful in that they're single-use and come from a less sustainable source. My Little Panda does offer a range of biodegradable paper straws and events if you still favour these.
A question of taste Aside from being ethical, products from My Little Panda are stylish, tasteful and fun. Speaking of taste, does bamboo picnic cutlery leave any aftertaste in the mouth? The answer is no.
Plastic products used with food and drink are notorious for adversely affecting the taste. this is a separate issue as to whether or not they contain BPA, a chemical which seeps into food and that is potentially harmful to health. clearly, you get none of this with bamboo. unlike plastic or metal, natural bamboo lets you enjoy the flavour of your food and allows it to linger unspoiled once you've finished eating. it won't ruin the taste during or after your meal.
