Bamboo Utensil Set from ECOBAGS

One of the problems with convenience and fast-food restaurants is the wastefulness of the throw-away plates and utensils. The Bamboo Utensil Set from ECOBAGS can be a perfect solution, allowing you to always have your own handy set of eating utensils with you wherever you go.

About the Company

Eco-Bags Products, Inc. started their business in 1989 with a mission to produce quality bags that fit a reusable way of life that embraces recycling and using renewable resources. They have since expanded their product line to include many other environmentally friendly and responsible products.

About the Product

The To-Go Ware Repeat Bamboo Utensil set is a portable set of eating utensils that includes a fork, knife, spoon and chopsticks. They are enclosed in a handy colorful utensil holder that is made from recycled PET plastic, which helps keep these plastic beverage bottles out of our landfills. There is a handy carabiner on the back of the holder that lets you clip it on and easily carry these utensils. Made from sustainably harvested bamboo, this set of eating utensils not only attractive and handy, but also environmentally responsible. You have a choice of five attractive holder colors to choose from: Agave, Beet, Pumpkin, Avocado and Black.

The Good

This is an extremely handy set, and is a good replacement for throw-away plastic utensils when you eat out. The bamboo utensils don't absorb flavors, and are pleasant utensils to eat with. They are safe to use on non-stick surfaces, safe for food use, and are heat and stain resistant. The fact that the holder can be clipped on makes it easy to carry these handy utensils wherever you travel. Because the carrying case comes in multiple colors, it makes it easy for each family member to keep track of their own utensil set.

The Bad

Because the PET carrying case simply has a flip-over cover, it doesn't seal the eating utensils from dirt and debris, which can be a problem in situations such as hiking and traveling outdoors. Additionally, since the carrier is soft, it won't provide the eating utensils with much support if they are bent in transport.

The Bottom Line

For those who are looking for a handy set of portable utensils, this product is a good solution. They are an attractive and environmentally friendly alternative to disposable utensils, and are reasonably priced.

Product Information

The retail price for one set of utensils is $11.95. However, when purchasing five or more sets directly from ECOBAGS, the price is $10.95 each.
