Bambu Pair Of Chopsticks

Billions of disposable chopsticks are thrown away every year. Use reusable bamboo chopsticks instead!

These reusable bamboo chopsticks come from an organic, renewable bamboo source, and are hand burnished to a naturally-smooth finish (splinter-free). Lightweight and sturdy, these go-anywhere eating utensils can handle more than fried noodles or sushi.

These bamboo chopsticks are a great and versatile eating utensil and can be useful tools in the kitchen too. They wash off easily, travel well, and can be used over and over again.

The USDA BioPreferred Program was created in 2002. The goal was to increase the use of renewable agricultural resources and the purchase of biobased products. And to reduce our nation’s reliance on petroleum and contribute to reducing adverse environmental and health impacts. The Biobased Certification was also created to give transparency to customers. So that consumers could be sure what they’re buying is as eco-friendly as it’s promised to be. Companies that take part in the BioPreferred Program use third-party testing to ensure that their products meet the Biobased Certified standards.

What does ‘Biobased’ mean?

The term “biobased product” means a product derived from raw materials such as plants and other renewable agricultural, marine, and forestry materials. Biobased products generally provide an alternative to conventional petroleum derived products. This means that biobased products are much more eco-friendly than their non-biobased counterparts.  With the USDA Biobased certification, you’ll know just how much your product is biobased. And that percentage is certified by the government and regulated via third-party testing.

Why Choose Biobased Products?

With so many options to choose from, why pick biobased products? When you’re choosing between products, looking for a Biobased certification tells you a few important things.  First, the certification shows that the product is tested via a third-party for biobased materials. That means that “greenwashing” (touting eco-friendly qualities without proof) is out the window. A Biobased certified product is proven to be biobased. And is certified by the government, so you know the company truly did the work it’s promising. Next, using biobased products lessens your impact on the environment.  Because biobased products are made with natural materials such as plants, they use renewable sources to create their products.  This means that you’re not supporting the production of items that use petroleum, and are instead supporting green production. Plus, biobased products are made from natural materials, so you can say goodbye to harsh chemicals or unpronounceable ingredients. Choosing biobased products is better for you and your family.
