These bowls use natural bamboo fibres in place of harmful plastic. Bamboo bowls are strong and durable and will last years in the home before they break down naturally at the end of their life when finally disposed of, unlike their plastic counterpart which on average can take between 500-1000yrs to decompose in a landfill. Each bowl is still dishwasher safe and has non-slip feet bases for mess free dinnertimes. Not only is bamboo earth-friendly it is a renewable plant that grows back following its natural harvest time. Recognised as one of the fastest growing plants on the planet Bamboo uses minimal energy to produce with minimal impact on the earth, whilst the product is still still strong, durable and is completely safe for pets and humans to use.
