This utensil set is a toolkit to help reduce your ecological footprint and keep you connected to the world. Enjoy eating with organic utensils made of bamboo, which is highly durable and can be grown and harvested sustainably.

"Throwaway" plastic cutlery consists of petrochemicals that create dioxins and other toxic chemicals harmful to the environment, as well as contributing to wasteful habits that feed the landfill rather than nourishing our lives.

In addition, the holder itself has been produced by WEAVE, a women's cooperative on the Thai-Burma border.

To Go Ware


To-Go Ware offers solutions for a world with life on-the-go. Life is moving fast for everyone these days, and sometimes that can cause us difficulty in making conscious lifestyle choices—especially when it comes to food!

With the explosion of “to-go” culture, there is no shortage of disposable containers and utensils crossing our paths everywhere we go, and we’ve all started to feed the landfill more than we may realize. How many plastic forks and spoons do we toss away each week? How many plates, to-go boxes, napkins and cups? Start to do the math and see what that adds up to per year—you may be surprised at the impact you are having.

If we cannot abandon our need for “to-go” convenience as we move through our busy lives, we can certainly integrate ways of being more mindful and conscious of the impact our lifestyle has upon the planet… our hope is that To-Go Ware can provide you the tools to make that difference, allowing you to be a Solutionary in these to-go times.

Reason to Recycle (1)
Without recycling the US timber harvest would need to increase by 80 percent to meet our fiber demand.

Reason to Recycle (2)
It takes from 17 to 20 trees to produce a ton of paper.

Reason to Recycle (3)
Recycling reduces the impact of mining and manufacturing. Recycling one ton of aluminum uses 95 percent less energy than mining bauxite, saving 37 barrels of oil per ton.

Reason to Recycle (4)
Recycling saves landfill space. One ton of paper occupies approximately 3.3 cubic yards in a landfill.

To Go Ware
The average time a plastic utensil is used before tossed away is only 3 minutes.

Bamboo grows faster than any other known plant, as much as an inch every 40 minutes.
