Totally Bamboo’s Dark, 10” Soft Square Plate is distinctively attractive, super strong, and totally "green"! It’s made of sturdy bamboo. The benefits of using bamboo are numerous. For example: bamboo is 16 percent harder than maple, it’s naturally anti-microbial and it holds the promise of a sustainable, cost effective, and ecologically responsible alternative to the widespread clear cutting of our old growth forests. Totally Bamboo uses organically grown Moso bamboo, so you need not worry about harmful pesticides or fertilizers. Plus, this bamboo is not a food source, or a habitat, for the Giant Panda. Totally good for you and totally good for the environment! Plate is easy to maintain. Wash with warm water and occasionally use Totally Bamboo’s Revitalizing Oil to extend life and keep it looking beautiful. 10 X 10”
