About Bambu
Bambu was founded in 2003 by Rachel and Jeff, who set out to reduce reliance on plastic by making everyday home goods from fast-growing bamboo instead. The company makes bamboo kitchen and tableware, including these Kitchen Basics cooking utensils. Bambu has been a Certified B Corporation since 2018, which means it meets independently verified standards for social and environmental performance, and it is certified woman-owned by the Women's Business Enterprise National Council. Its bamboo is FSC certified, meaning the Forest Stewardship Council has verified it comes from responsibly managed sources, and the utensils are hand-burnished and finished with a plant-based food-grade oil, with no glues or lacquers. The brand has kept the same anti-plastic mission for more than twenty years.
