When trees thrive, it benefits all things living. We

make bamboo alternatives to traditional wood products.

Island Bamboo™ products are an earth friendly

choice for kitchenware products because they are

high quality with a long useful life, manufactured

from bamboo, a renewable resource and

thoughtfully packaged to reduce waste.

The Island Bamboo™ brand is manufactured

exclusively from Moso bamboo, while the HUE

Bamboo line extension incorporates innovative

material accents including non-toxic silicone, food

safe lacquer and rainbow wood made from

white birch.

Bamboo is a renewable resource and viable

alternative to wood and petroleum based products.

It is a plant that grows abundantly, as much as

2’ per day, with little water while providing 35%

more oxygen than similar standings of timber.

Additionally Island Bamboo™ uses Moso bamboo,

which is not a food source for China’s endangered

Giant Panda.
