Bamboo packaging is made from the bamboo plant. Contrary to popular belief, bamboo plants aren’t trees. They’re actually a member of the grass family. There are over 1,000 different species of bamboo that grow in various parts of the world
but mainly Asia.

Bamboo is one of the fastest growing plants in the world. Like trees, bamboo is renewable but grows much faster than hardwood. One species can grow up to 35 inches in one day! It can reach maturity and be harvested in 5 years.

Bamboo doesn’t require pesticides, irrigation, or replanting to achieve this growth. That means lower impact and higher sustainability making it a great environmental alternative to hardwood.

Most disposable bamboo packaging like bamboo paper cups are made from a part of the plant known as the sheath. This is the outer layer of the bamboo’s stem that falls off when the plant reaches a certain age.

1. This sheath is collected right after it hits the ground.
2. After the sheath is collected, it is cleaned, boiled, pulped and made into rolls.
3. Finally, once it’s sheeted to size,, it’s pressed into the desired bamboo tableware shape or printed and forme cut into packaging.
