Bamboo is the alternative for all things wood in the kitchen! Totally Bamboo encourages and supports reducing the widespread practice of clear-cutting our precious hard wood forests by giving consumers a sustainable alternative. Bamboo is stronger than most hard woods and it is the fastest growing plant on our planet. It does not require any special care to grow. In fact, it is a grass that produces more oxygen than a hard wood forest of comparable size, therefore reducing carbon dioxide gases associated with climate change. It also prevents soil erosion through its widespread root system and large canopy. At Totally Bamboo, we are proud to use "Moso" timber bamboo for its strength, density, versatility and high quality. It is harvested from our own bamboo forests which are not a habitat or food source for the great panda. Our factories adhere to very stringent protocol for curing and processing the bamboo, ensuring the highest quality product. And we take steps to ensure that our employees are well taken care of and work in a safe and hazard free environment.
