About Bamboo Fiber BIOBU® Eco-Composite

Bamboo Fiber BIOBU® is our signature eco-composite blends made from responsibly sourced bamboo waste 50% and a safe, 50% food-grade binder. This combination makes our products strong, long-lasting and completely safe for everyday use - no varnish, no coatings, no fading, and no harmful chemicals.

Unlike many bamboo fibre products on the market, BIOBU® is produced using a strict, high-quality thermopress process, ensuring stability, durability and top safety standards. All products are BPA-free, PVC-free, Phthalate-free, Asbestos-free and fully tested to global food-safety regulations.

We chose bamboo because it is one of the most renewable resources on our planet. It requires no fertilizer, pesticide or herbicide. Our bamboo is collected as sawdust waste from selected bamboo chopstick factories. Our items are reusable, dishwasher-safe, and a sustainable alternative to fragile or disposable plastics.

EKOBO STORY

WE DESIGN TO DO BETTER WITH LESS.

Founded in 2003 by Bruno and Boo Louis, EKOBO began as a family-driven project rooted in thoughtful design and daily use. Over more than 20 years, the brand has grown alongside our children, shaping products for meals, travel and developing products together.

From the beginning, our approach was simple: create functional, well-made pieces using carefully selected materials - bamboo, cork, rePET, silicone, and organic cotton - with a focus on durability and reducing unnecessary waste.

Each collection reflects a "less is more" philosophy, where form, function and material are considered equally. Today, EKOBO is an international brand with 500+ designs, present in the United States, Europe, and Asia - made for modern family life.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the disadvantages / limitations of bamboo fiber?

Bamboo fiber must be distinguished from
natural bamboo. Natural bamboo products are often disposable and
moisture-sensitive. Bamboo fiber eco-composites are durable and reusable but
are not designed for cooking, microwaves, or ovens. They have defined heat
limits and are not home-compostable due to the food-safe binder required for
long-term reuse. These are material limitations, not safety defects.

What are the disadvantages of bamboo cutlery?

Natural bamboo cutlery is often disposable and lightweight. Bamboo fiber cutlery is reusable and more durable but not suitable for cooking, less impact-resistant than stainless steel, and intended for eating and serving rather than high-heat tasks.

Why can’t bamboo go in the dishwasher?

Natural bamboo products generally cannot go in the dishwasher because prolonged heat, moisture, and detergents degrade untreated fibers. Bamboo fiber eco-composites are engineered differently. EKOBO’s bamboo fiber products are dishwasher safe (top rack), which differentiates them from many generic bamboo items.

Is EKOBO safe?

Yes. EKOBO products are made from bamboo fiber eco-composites, not raw natural bamboo. They are BPA-free, PVC-free, and phthalate-free, tested for food-contact safety, and designed for hot and cold foods and liquids, though not for cooking.

Where are EKOBO products made?

EKOBO products are designed in France and manufactured in China, where bamboo naturally grows. EKOBO uses leftover bamboo sawdust from chopstick factories, giving waste material a second life. Bamboo’s rapid growth and high CO₂ capture contribute to a lower carbon footprint from the beginning of the product’s life cycle.

Is EKOBO dishwasher safe?

Yes. Unlike many natural bamboo products, EKOBO’s bamboo fiber eco-composites are dishwasher safe (top rack) due to their engineered formulation.

Which country is famous for bamboo products?

China is widely known for bamboo products due to centuries of cultivation, craftsmanship, and large-scale processing expertise in both natural bamboo and bamboo fiber materials.

Which country is the largest producer of bamboo?

China is the world’s largest producer of bamboo, supplying the majority of global bamboo used for both natural bamboo goods and bamboo fiber processing.

Is EKOBO a good brand?

Yes. EKOBO is a well-established eco-design brand known for combining modern aesthetics with responsibly sourced materials. Designed in France, the brand focuses on reusable alternatives to single-use plastics using bamboo fiber eco-composites, not raw natural bamboo. EKOBO uses leftover bamboo sawdust from chopstick factories, giving waste material a second life. Bamboo grows extremely fast and captures significantly more CO₂ than most hardwoods, contributing to a lower carbon footprint from the very beginning of the product’s life cycle.
