Question 1

Wood type products have the fibers pressed together and secured with a sort of glue. Does the glue used to make these bamboo plates contain formalde

Accepted Answer

Hello,

Thanks for your enquiry.

Our bobo&boo dinnerware is made from bamboo fibers, with small amounts of other natural grains such as bran and cornstarch. These natural fibers are mixed with a small amount of food-grade binding resin and poured into a mold. They are pressed and baked under high temperature, then polished to make them smooth.

The food binding resin is a non-toxic, food-safe melamine binder that is required to make our products dishwasher safe. It is mixed with the natural bamboo fibers to help extend the life of your bobo&boo dinnerware and keeps it in tip-top shape.

As much as we wish our bamboo products could be made of 100% organic elements, we also understand the value and importance of creating dishwasher-safe products in today's busy society. And we're not alone; despite what other brands may suggest, we have done extensive manufacturing research and are not aware of any bamboo dinnerware products currently on the market that are 100% melamine free. But we keep on searching…

All bobo&boo products are free from BPA, PVC, Phthalates, Lead, Cadmium and Mercury as well as tested for safety & quality, you can feel confident in purchasing our products.

Hope this helps.

Question 2

Are these melamine free?

Accepted Answer

Hi :) Our bamboo dinnerware range does contain a small amount of food safe melamine. We keep our % as low as possible where other brands can contain up to 60% melamine. As much as we wish our bamboo products could be made of 100% organic elements, we also understand the value and importance of creating dishwasher-safe products in today’s busy society. We have however released a brand new plat-based range which is melamine free *happy dance* just look up bobo&boo plant-based on Amazon :)

Question 3

Will these stick to silicone mat?

Accepted Answer

Hello,

Our dishes itself do not contain a suction pad if this is what you are asking :)

They would generally grip well to a silicone mat though.
