What is the EKOBO Project?
EKOBO is a home living brand that’s all about designing and crafting premium, eco-friendly tableware and home accessories. From the get-go, the goal has been clear: to make eco-gestures easy and natural in everyday homes. It’s about saving space, offering smart solutions, and creating designs that simplify life, celebrate beauty, and—most importantly—fight against waste. The commitment? Using eco-responsible and sustainable materials every step of the way.
The Main Benefits of EKOBO’s Approach
Here’s the lowdown on what makes EKOBO stand out:
- Uses a biopolymer made of about half bamboo fiber—a highly renewable resource—and half non-toxic, food-grade A5 melamine binder.
- All products undergo rigorous testing to meet global food safety standards (FDA, LFGB & REACH).
- Free from harmful substances like BPA, PVC, Phthalates, Lead, Cadmium, and Mercury.
- Bamboo grows incredibly fast—up to one meter per day—and needs no fertilizers, pesticides, or herbicides.
- Materials sourced from FSC-certified bamboo chopstick factories in China, ensuring responsible harvesting.
- Recycles vegetal “waste” from bamboo processing for new product creation.
Why Bamboo? The Eco-Miracle Grass
Bamboo isn’t just any plant—it’s one of the most renewable resources on Earth. Imagine this: it can grow up to a meter a day! Plus, it doesn’t require fertilizers, pesticides, or herbicides to thrive. This means it regenerates naturally without harming the environment or the plant itself. Bamboo’s rapid growth and low environmental impact make it a true ecological superstar, perfect for sustainable product design.
Production and Transparency
All EKOBO products are made in China, right where the bamboo grows. The bamboo is collected from FSC-certified factories that produce bamboo chopsticks. After the bamboo is cut and shaped, the leftover vegetal “waste” is cleverly repurposed for new products, minimizing waste and maximizing resource use. Transparency is key here—EKOBO openly shares what goes into their products and how they’re made, so customers can trust what they’re buying.
Unique Designs Inspired by Family Life
Every EKOBO product is unique because it’s dreamed up, imagined, and inspired by real family life. These aren’t knock-offs or generic items pulled from factory catalogs or Alibaba. Nope, each design is original, crafted with care and creativity. When you pick up an EKOBO piece, you’re getting something authentic, thoughtful, and designed to fit into everyday living with style and purpose.
