Grove Co. Bamboo Prep Board
Grove Co.
Bamboo Prep Board
A budget bamboo board from a B Corp that does not disclose its adhesive or finish. That non-disclosure holds it at 3, so we point you to a better-documented bamboo board instead of putting a shop button on this one.
A budget bamboo prep board from a B Corp, but Grove does not disclose the glue or the finish, so it lands at 3 with the honest note that the material story is incomplete.

- Inexpensive and a handy small size

What's inside
The board is 100% bamboo, but Grove does not disclose the adhesive used to laminate it or any factory finish. Bamboo itself sheds plant fibers, not microplastics, but a laminated bamboo board needs a glue, and here it is simply not published. The company's B Corp and 1% for the Planet credentials sit at the company level, not on this board.

About Grove Co.
Grove Co. is the flagship in-house brand of Grove Collaborative, a Certified B Corporation since 2014 and a 1% for the Planet member. This is a small 10 by 7.5 inch bamboo prep board at a budget price. Grove states it is 100% bamboo, but the product page does not disclose the adhesive used to laminate the board or any factory finish; the only oil reference is a care instruction to condition it monthly with mineral oil. That non-disclosure is the reason this sits at 3 rather than in the low band alongside better-documented bamboo boards. The B Corp and 1% for the Planet credentials are real but certify Grove the company, not this board's materials. A bamboo board can absolutely be a low-plastic choice; this one just does not show its work.
