Zero plastic bamboo fiber products
By designing and developing products using recycled materials, we hope to make a positive impact.
How does it work?
The bamboo fiber itself is tough, soft, and breathable. In product development, we take into account both aesthetics and environmental awareness, using plant-based and food-grade eco-friendly dyes for materials and dyeing. The lightweight feeling, visual appeal, and matte texture of the product are all fascinating. In addition, the heat resistance of bamboo fiber is sufficient to cope with household appliances in daily life. Except for avoiding the use of ovens and rice cookers, which may damage the structure of the bamboo fiber, it can withstand temperatures ranging from -20°C to 120°C, microwave heating up to 600W for no more than 3 minutes, refrigeration and freezing, and can be used in dishwashers and dish dryers. Whether it is used for decoration, food display, outdoor dining, etc., it is a fresh enjoyment when placed in the home, and it can also respond to plastic reduction activities during use.
Why is it needed?
Plastic has a significant impact on the environment, and bamboo fiber is a great alternative option. Bamboo grows quickly and is a green and eco-friendly material that is more environmentally friendly than other materials in the production process. The United Nations (UN) has designated bamboo as a green material because it grows rapidly, requires no fertilizers or pesticides, can be harvested in just three years, and has natural antibacterial properties, making it the most stable and safe eco-friendly material. However, in today's market, there are all kinds of products containing plastic materials, causing environmental pressure and damage. Therefore, tableware made of bamboo fiber has emerged to replace plastic usage and reduce the burden on the earth.
How does it improve life?
For the sake of the earth's future, we should respond to the plastic reduction movement. This material is made from a combination of bamboo fiber and plant starch, with zero plastic content and no PLA (corn starch polylactic acid), making it naturally decomposable and burnable. Since the ingredients are natural, burning does not produce harmful gases that persecute the environment, and under normal natural conditions, it can naturally decompose when buried, and can also be reused, demonstrating its characteristics of circular design. It is one of the stable and safe materials in eco-friendly materials, from sourcing to recycling, it can be used for natural decomposition in the earth, achieving a green life of carbon reduction.
