Who has enough trays, and how can a simple tray choice effect global warming? Plants absorb carbon. Bamboo is one of the fastest growing plants on the planet. As it grows, bamboo, like all plants, absorbs carbon dioxide and produces oxygen. So why not use sustainable, environmentally friendly trays? Peeled directly from the bamboo stalk, these are intended to be used once, however I do hand wash and reuse them. Once disposed, they biodegrade in 4-6 months. Put your appetizers on the trays with some of our Bamboo Sporks and now you are entertaining.
