Why origami wrapping?

 

We cut down on standard packaging (box) and plastic wrap by 80%, and we believe we still have something sustainable and beautiful to present our products.

The packaging acts as a wrapping, offering a double-sided label space for a message, which removes the need for gift wrap. It's already a gift.

If the product is purchased to keep, there is a small piece of kraft paper, a hemp string and a label to recycle or reuse. Reuse for art and crafts, for example.

How It's Made?

The bamboo cutlery is made from a single bamboo. There are no sealants or glues. It will not contaminate food nor harm the environment once it has been disposed of.

The pouch uses 80% hemp and 20% recycled cotton. Hemp cotton is more durable than regular cotton. Plus, it only uses 1/20 of the water used to grow and process regular cotton. Hemp is far more sustainable than cotton, but you get a softer and more flexible material that extends the pouch life by combining the two.

The pouch colours are from natural dyes. Some of the benefits are: Completely biodegradable, Safer for the skin, Easy on the Earth, Creates beautiful colours, and no additional resources are needed.

How long will the bamboo cutlery last and are they safe?

The durable cutlery is designed to be sturdy, so it doesn't break easily. It is made of bamboo, guaranteeing high strength and can last for years with little or no degradation.

They are safe for adults and children to use as any other cutlery. If your child knows how to eat with utensils, they will have no problem using bamboo cutlery.

Can I use bamboo cutlery with all types of food?

You can use bamboo cutlery for cooking or eating most foods. Bamboo is naturally heat resistant and withstands the heat of high temperatures.

Knife: is sharp enough to cut cooked vegetables, meat or most other food.

Spoon: It is the same size as a regular tablespoon.

Fork: is sharp enough to spear cooked vegetables, meat and other food.

Straw: wide enough to drink smoothies or other beverages with it.

Do they feel or taste like wooden cutlery?

The bamboo cutlery is sanded down and varnished with vegetable oil. Therefore, it is smooth to the touch and splinter-free.

Bamboo has no wooden aftertaste and doesn't affect the taste of the food, unlike wooden cutlery that can leave a bad taste in your mouth when consuming food.

Are they suitable for travelling?

The bamboo cutlery is perfect for eating on the go. Some of the benefits are listed below:

• Soundless
• Lightweight
• Cabin approved

Unlike metal cutlery, bamboo cutlery is much safer to carry.  

What is the benefit of carrying a personal bamboo lunch set?

They are environmentally friendly, with no added chemicals in their production and once disposed of they will not harm the environment. Use the bamboo cutlery at school, camping or day out. Carrying them in their bags is hygienic and can help with the plastic crisis.   

How do I take care of bamboo cutlery?

My little Panda Bamboo cutlery can be cleaned with hot, soapy water or in a dishwasher.

The natural way to clean cutlery is with vinegar. Add three tablespoons to one cup of water and wipe it off with a cloth afterwards. If a food odour persists, rub it down with a piece of lemon.

Care- Like other wood products in your kitchen, bamboo needs to be oiled periodically with, example olive oil or food-grade mineral oil. Food-grade mineral oil is available in most grocery stores.

Can I purchase replacements and how can I dispose of used cutlery?

In case you lost one of the utensils, we offer replacement cutlery on our online store. You don't have to buy a full set.

The bamboo cutlery, straw and pouch are compostable. The straw brush is recyclable.

Does My little Panda have any quality controls?

All of our orders for materials from outside of the UK are done in bulk, 10000 at a time or more, and they are stored in our London warehouse for quality control and assembly by UK workers.

Product assembly: Assembled and tested in the UK, by stay-at-home home parents, OAPs, and less mobile people.

Ethical sourcing: At My Little Panda, we ensure all our products are being sourced and manufactured in a responsible and sustainable way. We check that the workers involved in making them are safe and treated fairly, and that environmental and social impacts are taken into consideration during the sourcing process.

Import to the UK: We use sea freight to import all of our products to the UK. "A Defra study concludes that 2 tonnes of freight carried for 5,000km by a small container ship creates 150kg of CO2e (a measure of relative global warming potential) compared to 6,605kg of CO2e if the freight is carried by plane for the same distance. A clear difference." 

Work with us from home: To apply you need to be within 5 miles of our office which is in Docklands E140JW. We deliver the products to you for inspection and assembly, and we collect them when ready. There are no set hours. Training on origami wrapping is available.
