Our Spork is perfect for camping! They're handy to keep in the glove box of your car for food on the go too. We sure appreciate you taking the time to write in. Happy camping!

Response

In response to Customer Care: No where does the FDA state that utensils require petroleum based plastics for packaging. BAMBU, you have the choice to move toward bio plastic that are biodegradable or compostable. You could get creative and use abaca bags, paper bags lightly coated with potato or bees wax etc.

Thank you for your comments and concerns. We have researched the options available to us. Our biggest challenge is moisture. We need to provide moisture protection to ensure our products are not compromised. We would like to mention, that this is our 3rd packaging iteration, and with each version, we are reducing our plastic footprint. We have reduced our use by 40%. Not perfect, but improving. We applaud your passion for plastic alternatives.

Plastic packaging?

Plastic packaging? ... Clearly this company does not understand that most people purchasing sustainable wooden cutlery are going zero waste + plastic free. Please reconsider your plastic packaging Bambu.

Thanks for your feedback. We certainly understand your point and are continuously striving to reduce our use of plastics. Unfortunately, we are faced with strict regulations and requirements regarding packaging that's beyond our control. The FDA for example requires that our Veneerware be wrapped in plastic. We use a recyclable plastic, but, it's still plastic. We're determined and constantly looking for an alternative that will keep us in compliance while supporting our own values, and those of our customers. We appreciate your understanding.

Amazing quality

I went to a wedding years ago and I took one of these plates home just to check on line and buy later. Since then this are the only plates that we serve on parties. We get compliments all the time.

A: We describe our All Occasion Veneerware® bamboo plates and utensils, spork included, as 'single use' – but we know they are so much more.

The FDA requires us to classify these as ‘single use.’ This product is made without any coatings, lacquer or finish of any kind (that is why it is biodegradable and compostable). The result is that after several washings, it will begin to degrade and warp. It is perfectly safe, but it will not retain its elegant appearance.

In the end, we leave it up to the consumer. Customers inform us they get numerous uses from our plates and utensils. And that’s great. It all depends on how they are used. If it is used with dry foods, and can be wiped clean, then you will get several uses from it.

We hope that answers your questions.

A: Hi, I want to speak (talk) to an official of Bamboo. I need a spoon you no long make. I want to buy a few of those you undoubtedly have stashed.
Please key You Tube and search Artis the Spoonman. Watch the symphony piece of 25± years ago, then find something current, like the LensCrafter ad, the Tommy Bahama bit or Reggie Miles and me at Seattle’s Folklife festival.
I can’t send you a photo. I’ll try to email you a photo of the spoon. I use two of the spoons to make a very quiet, effective sound on some pieces. I was told it would cost me $5K to set up the template again. Look, I’m not hustling you. I want 2 - 10 of these $3 or $4 spoons? I don’t remember what they cost. Maybe you know of a retailer who still has some in stock. Please help me.
As for the Spork. I swear, I used mine today. I wanted to use them as business cards but they would have to have my name and contact burnt into them so peops could use them to eat with. So, I buy them locally by the 20 pack and give them away on occasion.
I am sincerely yours,
Artis (the Spoonman)

A: Thanks for writing in! Yes, while we use the best eco-friendly packaging available, the FDA does require the use of a food-safe shrink wrap on products that are used for food. The plastic we use is recyclable though, so that helps!

03/07/18

A: Hello and thanks for writing in. We certainly understand and appreciate your feedback. We do the very best we can re: packaging. This is our 3rd iteration and we’ve managed to decrease our plastic ‘footprint’ by 70% while adhering to FDA requirements, which restricts the type of plastic we can use. Unfortunately sugar or corn are not currently available as a shrink wrap. We're always open to better options so when we can find a compostable wrap that meets the packing requirements we must follow, we'll go for it. In the meantime, the food-safe plastic wrap we are currently using is recyclable. Thanks again!

A: Our compostable Veneerware® sporks are made from the same organic bamboo and yes, they too are made from a single piece of bamboo. I hope that helps!
