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.

Travel Soap Boxes

Bar soap is easy to pack, but it needs proper storage. Travel soap boxes are built to keep bar soap contained, reduce mess in bags, and separate solid products from the rest of your toiletries. A compact soap box is a simple way to keep your kit organised while travelling, commuting, or heading to the gym.

What a travel soap box is used for

A travel soap box is made for portable storage and quick packing. It’s useful whenever you want your soap to stay contained between uses and moved without affecting other items.

Typical use cases:

Carry-on luggage and weekend bags
Gym and swim kits
Work bags and commuter backpacks
Shared bathrooms and overnight stays
Storage in drawers, cabinets, and toiletry organisers

Keeping travel kits cleaner

Soap residue can transfer onto other items if a bar is packed loosely. Using a soap box helps keep your bar in one place and reduces the need to clean your toiletry bag after every trip.

To keep things tidier:

Let the bar dry briefly when possible before packing
Keep the soap box inside a toiletry bag or dedicated pocket
Rinse the box occasionally to reduce residue buildup
If switching products, rinse and dry the box between uses

Built for repeat use

Travel soap boxes are designed for regular packing and unpacking. They’re a practical option for anyone using bar soap for hands, body care, or daily cleansing and wanting a more organised way to store it during travel.

Travel soap storage for solid routines

Whether you travel weekly or just want a cleaner gym kit, a travel soap box helps keep bar soap contained and your toiletries organised. Explore the Travel Soap Boxes collection to build a compact setup that works day to day and trip to trip.
