To-Go Ware Bamboo Travel Utensil Set (RPET Case)
To-Go Ware (ChicoBag)
Classic bamboo travel utensil set: fork, knife, spoon in a recycled PET case with carabiner
Bamboo cutlery in a recycled plastic pouch, with unresolved finish chemistry on the food contact surface.
Bamboo fork, knife, and spoon in a clip on pouch, the standard swap for grabbing plastic cutlery on the go. The utensils are bamboo; the pouch is fabric woven from recycled plastic bottles, so the set as a whole is a mixed material product.

What's inside
Utensils are natural bamboo per the brand. The carrying case is made from 100% post consumer recycled PET bottles. On its custom sets page ChicoBag describes a food grade polyurethane coating on the bamboo; the retail set page names no finish, and the Amazon copy says food safe wood oil. We could not resolve which applies to this set.

Free of Virgin plastic in the case fabric (100% post consumer recycled per brand)
- Packaging
- The RPET case is part of the product. Retail outer packaging is not disclosed by the brand.
- Microplastics
- Bamboo utensils do not shed plastic into food, but if the bamboo carries a polyurethane food contact coating, as one brand page states, that is a synthetic film in food contact whose wear is unaccounted for. The RPET fabric case is not food contact but is an abrading plastic textile.
