BYOU: Bring Your Own Utensils

"Well-made, and a practical solution to reducing our plastic footprint!" - Heidi S. (customer review)

Did you know that every year we throw away enough plastic forks, knives and spoons to circle the equator 300 times? And that's just from this country alone. Choose a reusable bamboo utensil set because it matters—it's better for you (no leaching chemicals) AND it's better for the planet. We’ve got our reusable water bottles and reusable shopping bags. How about adding a bamboo utensil set to round out the perfect toolkit for life on the go?

The problem with plastic

A relevant blow to plastic cutlery was the addition of styrene to the US Health Dept. List of Carcinogens. Styrene is a chemical in polystyrene plastics and often used to make plastic forks, spoons and knives and is prone to leach into hot foods and those with a high fat content. In addition to being an endocrine disruptor, prolonged exposure to styrene has been found to be toxic to the brain and nervous system.

Reusable bamboo beats disposable plastic any day

Luckily, there's a fantastic alternative: reusable bamboo utensils in their own carrying case! It's the perfect to-go solution so you never have to use the chemical-laden plastic utensils again. These lightweight and strong utensils include a fork, spoon, knife and chopsticks. Heat and stain resistant, they won't impart or absorb flavors. They are made from a single sheet of bamboo and hand-finished with top grade, natural, vegan, food-safe wood oil.

The cloth utensil holders are made out of RPET (recycled PET plastic), giving plastic bottles a second shot at a useful life and an opportunity to stay out of our landfills.

As one of our customer reviewers puts it, "They travel well, are good for the office too...wish I had purchased more than just two sets." - Azaleea
