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 selectedmaterials - 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.
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.
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.
