Looking to reduce your plastic waste this year? Bamboo cutlery is a great place to start. More than just a stylish addition to your picnic, BBQ or camping trip, bamboo utensils could clean up our beaches and countryside.
Every year, 6 million tons of non-durable plastic such as disposable cutlery are discarded – much of this ends up in our ocean playground.
The Ocean Conservancy lists plastic cutlery as one of the most deadly types of plastic pollution for many forms of sea life, but the biggest impact can come from small changes. Reusable cutlery could be revolutionary.
Nearly 700 species are threatened due to plastic pollution.
As a Surfer’s Against Sewage 250 member, we strive to seek out new ways to eliminate ocean plastic whether it’s by recycling used plastic when making our products or organizing beach cleans. We keep this as a focus during product development and disposable cutlery was an issue we wanted to tackle.
Ditching the plastic cutlery may seem like a no brainer, but why bamboo?
Fast growing and tough.
Bamboo is also naturally antibacterial which makes it ideal for crafting naturally hygienic utensils. Within bamboo fiber a naturally occurring antimicrobial substance can be found called bamboo kun. This prevents bacteria from growing on bamboo products.
