To-Go Ware RePeaT Bamboo Utensil Set

Description

Here's an idea that will help you reduce your "forkprint"—the amount of disposable plastic forks, spoons, and knives you send to the landfill. It's the RePEaT Bamboo Utensil Set and Recycled Plastic Holder from To-Go Ware. Slip it into your lunch kit or clip it onto your bag with the attached carabiner. You'll have a high-quality fork, knife, spoon and chopsticks at the ready. It's the perfect lunchtime toolkit for life on the go.

The cutlery is made of beautiful, sustainable bamboo that is durable and lightweight. The bamboo pieces are heat and stain resistant and are also dishwasher safe.

The recycled plastic holder gives plastic bottles a second shot at a useful life (and keeps them out of our landfills). Made out of RPET (recycled PET plastic), we like to call it “RePEaT” because it lets plastic reincarnate into something kinder and gentler.

Materials
The bamboo utensils are sourced and made in China by a small cottage industry factory that employs fair labor practices. The utensils are made from a single sheet of bamboo, with absolutely no glue used. A sealant made of vegan, food-safe, natural materials adds durability to the utensils. The sealant is free of heavy metals and toxic substances, such as lead, arsenic, mercury, and chromium.

The RePEaT utensil holder of recycled plastic bottles is manufactured responsibly in China. (To-Go Ware's international partners are regularly monitored for human rights and environmental abuses.) The recycled plastic material is amazingly strong, colorfast and water resistant. An added plus for RePEaT holders is that the recycled material requires less energy during manufacturing than virgin PET materials.

Care Instructions
The bamboo utensils can be washed with soap and water or cleaned in the dishwasher. The recycled plastic utensil holder can be hand washed with a wet sponge.

Her company To-Go Ware is based in Berkeley, CA, and promotes social, economic and environmental justice in their business dealings domestically and abroad.
