Description Features Use and Care Specs

This recycled bamboo chopsticks folding soap dish is made of recycled chopsticks. Chopsticks from restaurants are collected, cleaned, and carefully sanitized using high temperature and pressure. By bringing awareness to the negative environmental impact of single-use chopsticks, millions of trees and bamboo plants are spared in this effort. The construction method of using spaced chopsticks promotes good air circulation allowing your soap to stay dry resulting in a longer lasting bar of soap. Sturdy and functional, the soap dish folds up for easy storage.

Products with the icon "recycled/reclaimed" are comprised of materials that have been removed from the waste stream and reconstructed into other useful products. These can be various percentages of recycled or reclaimed materials and may be a mix of pre-consumer and post-consumer waste. This Bona Fide icon describes a product with a recycled or reclaimed content of 50% or greater. Recycled materials are typically processed using waste products with varying degrees of intensity and environmental impact. Reclaimed materials use waste products typically as is (with minimal or no processing). Overall, recycled products reduce energy and conserve water because virgin or raw materials have been wholly or partially substituted during the processing phase.

Products with the icon "USA made" are manufactured in the United States. Some of the materials that make up the product might be sourced from outside the USA, but ultimately, the product is assembled in the USA. Fair labor practices and a softer carbon footprint are often associated with USA made products.

Products with the icon "biodegradable" are typically broken down and/or consumed by other living organisms, mostly bacteria, into basic elements found in nature without toxic by-products. An example of a biodegradable standards from the EU includes: "a product, liquid, or chemical is considered biodegradable if 90% is broken down within six months." Biodegradable products may not necessarily be compostable.

Products with the icon "low/no packaging" are minimally packaged with protective coverings that have been reused, can be composted, or are completely recyclable. Low packaging is sometimes more desirable for containment (tea), for cleanliness (a baby's teether), or for holding parts together (a set of sheets). Since packaging almost always contributes a negative environmental impact, shoppers should consider products having the least amount of packaging. Better yet, choose products with absolutely no packaging (like naked bars of soap). Products with the "low/no packaging" icon may be free of any containment or protection; however, they may come with a tag. Considering low or no packaging for waste reduction is the hallmark of "reducing", the first of the 3 R's.
