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.

About Food-Grade Silicone

Silicone is a flexible, durable material made from silica, a natural element derived from sand. EKOBO uses high-quality, food-grade silicone described as safe, non-toxic and suitable for everyday use in baby and family products, as seen in the baby feeding collection.

All silicone items are BPA-free and designed as a long-lasting alternative to disposable plastics, supplying a soft, functional solution for daily meals at home or on the go, as outlined in the EKOBO FAQ. The material is flexible and wear-resistant, making it especially useful for repeated use.

Food-grade silicone is widely recognized as safe for food contact and is approved for use in kitchenware and food applications by organizations such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, making it a reliable choice for everyday use.

About Food-Grade Stainless Steel

Stainless steel is a durable material widely used for food containers due to its strength and long lifespan. EKOBO uses high-quality, food-grade stainless steel in products designed for repeated daily use, including lunch boxes and food storage, such as this stainless steel lunch box.

It is naturally BPA-free and suitable for direct food contact, making it a reliable alternative to plastic for both home and travel. Its sturdiness and impact resistance make it especially practical for outdoor dining and on-the-go use.

Food‑grade stainless steel is prized in kitchenware and food contact applications because its smooth, non‑porous surface helps reduce bacterial buildup and makes cleaning easier, contributing to safe everyday use. Research on food contact materials highlights that stainless steel resists corrosion and does not react with acidic or alkaline foods, helping preserve taste and quality over time (see food contact materials overview). These properties make it a trusted choice for family meals, travel, and outdoor dining

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

Is bamboo safer than melamine?

Both materials are safe when compliant and used as directed. Bamboo fiber eco-composites incorporate renewable bamboo content, while melamine is fully synthetic. Safety depends on formulation, testing, and correct use.

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.

Who makes bamboo products?

Bamboo products are primarily made by manufacturers in China and Southeast Asia, where bamboo grows locally and supply chains exist for both natural bamboo and bamboo fiber materials.

Are bamboo nature diapers safe?

Bamboo-based diapers typically use bamboo-derived fibers rather than raw bamboo. They are generally safe when certified and properly tested. Safety depends on no chlorine bleaching, no added fragrances, and dermatological testing.

Is melamine toxic to humans?

Melamine is not toxic when used correctly. It is regulated for food-contact use and should not be microwaved or exposed to prolonged high heat. Bamboo fiber eco-composites follow similar usage guidelines while incorporating renewable bamboo content.

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.
