We have said a goodbye to our beloved bamboo dinnerware, a cherished part of the bobo&boo journey since our beginning nine years ago.
This range holds a special place in my heart, as it was where bobo&boo began. Each piece represents our commitment to creating stylish, non-toxic, and eco-friendly dinnerware for families like yours. Your love and support for our bamboo products have been instrumental in our growth, and I can’t thank you enough.
As we look to the future, our vision has become clearer. We are incredibly passionate about our plant-based dinnerware, which is the next step in eco-conscious living. Our plant-based range is:
While I’m sad to say goodbye to the bamboo range, I’m excited about the new possibilities and innovations we can bring you. We’re dedicated to expanding our plant-based range with vibrant new products and colours that will continue to make mealtime fun and stylish.
Thank you,

No, our bamboo range is not microwave safe. While it’s durable and eco-friendly, bamboo fibers can weaken or warp when exposed to the high heat of a microwave. For reheating or warming food, we recommend transferring it to a microwave-safe container. The good news is our bamboo range is dishwasher safe.
Our bamboo range is made primarily from sustainable bamboo fibres, combined with a small amount of food-grade melamine resin for added durability and strength—just like all bamboo dinnerware on the market. This ensures the pieces are sturdy, long-lasting, and perfect for everyday family use.
Just like our bamboo dinnerware, these babies are thoughtfully and lovingly designed in Australia and then created with a lotta’ heart and eco-lovin’ vibes by our production partners in China.
Glad you asked. Our new range is made using a plant-based resin created from renewable fibres extracted from crops like corn and sweet potatoes. Better still, they’re free from BPAs and melamine, which means zero toxins and nasties – hooray! So while you may not be able to get your kids to eat their greens, at least you can give yourself a high-five for making sure their dinnerware is chock-full of plant-y goodness.
You betcha’! It’s taken us a few years, but we’ve finally come up with the goods that can handle the heat of the dishwasher and the microwave.
To create our plant-based range, we use a new, fancy-schmancy injection mould process, which leaves a small insertion hole on the underside of the plate/bowl/cup. So, if you’re not sure which one is which, flip it over and check for the little pinhole on the back. (Go ahead, check it out. We’ll wait here.)
Excellent question! PLA (or polylactic acid, for all those smarty-pants parents playing at home) is a bioplastic derived from renewable resources like corn starch, sugar cane, straw, woodchips – even good ol’ veggies!
Instead of using nasty chemicals like petroleum (#gross) to create long-lasting products, our super-smart science-y pals have figured out a way to bind natural, renewable biomass sources together with resin to form reusable and earth-kind products. (And that, my friend, is why they get to wear the fancy white lab coats while we still have last night’s spaghetti sauce on our t-shirts. Go figure.)
Good news! Our plant-based plates, bowls, and cups are 100% compostable, which means if you lose one in the line of fire (aka a toddler meltdown of epic proportions), it will go on to have another life as part of your garden mulch. (#BetterThanTheBin)
We also sell our plant-based items in singles so you can steal borrow your kid’s pocket money to replace your missing pieces without having to buy a whole new set.
You sure can! But honestly, they love being part of a crew, so feel free to buy them a few extra breakfast buddies to hang out with (*wink*).
Chuck ‘em in the dishwasher and let the machine do its job! But if you feel like getting back to basics, give them a good ol’ bubble bath in the sink with hot water and dry with a clean tea towel (the fluffier, the better).
Look, we’re the first to say that we love our bamboo dinnerware like we love our kids; however, we’ve also always been the first to openly admit that even our bamboo goods come with a teeny-tiny amount of food-grade melamine in them. That’s why we’ve spent the last few years searching the globe for the technology to create another option for those mamas and papas who want a genuine melamine-free dinnerware option. It’s all part of our ‘Do better. Be better.’ philosophy, as we do our bit to make the planet a better, brighter place for our little Boos.
To help you out, we made this handy little cheat sheet:

Imagine the smoothness of silk sheets, but in dinnerware form! It’s firm and sturdy, giving it a premium feel—almost like a high-quality plastic, but without any of the nasties. Perfect for those little hands and not too soft like silicone, ensuring it holds up bravely to all the dining adventures it’ll be part of!
Our plant-based dinnerware doesn’t just look good; it’s pretty smart too! It’s designed not to hold onto odours, no matter how aromatic your little one’s meals might be. So go ahead, serve up that spaghetti bolognese or garlicky greens—our dishes will come out of the wash smelling fresh every time.
Spotting those charming little brown speckles on your dishes? Those are actually bamboo fibers! They’re a natural part of the bamboo used in creating some of our dinnerware, giving each piece a unique, earthy touch. These tiny marks are a badge of authenticity, showing you’re using a product that’s not only eco-friendly but also has a natural origin story.
Our handmade BamBOO straws come straight outta’ the heart of Indonesia, the home of several native bamboo species – including the ones that helped create these little gems.
Our straws are made from 100% natural and sustainably-sourced bamboo. We promise that you won’t find any glues, lacquers, plastics, toxins, BPAs, or any other nasties in our straws. In fact, they’re so natural even a panda would happily chow down on these babies.
Each straw measure 15cm in length, which means they’re purposefully designed for small cups (and smaller mouths). Most bamboo straws currently on the market are 20cm+ long, which any mum will tell you leads to more spillages, especially in the hands (lips?) of a toddler with limited fine-motor skills. (We’ve all been there.)
Our straws also measure 8-10mm in diameter, which makes them wide enough for sippin’ smoothies, milkshakes, soups, frozen drinks, melted ice cream – basically, all the liquid-y things that can be tackled by a spoon but are a lot more entertaining to suck down through a straw. Because FUN. (Side note: Also excellent for parents looking to down a frozen margarita when the kids aren’t watching.)
Just like each kid has their own set of unique features, our handmade straws are one-of-a-kinds that may have special markings due to the natural bamboo material – but that doesn’t mean you’ll love them any less. (Kinda’ like freckles, only cuter.) Likewise, the diameter of each straw may also slightly vary, because they’re handmade from bamboo shoots which come in all different (wonderful!) shapes and sizes – just like us parents.
Good news! Our bamboo straws are 100% compostable, which means if you lose one in the line of fire (a.k.a a tantrum of epic proportions), it will go on to have another life as part of your garden mulch. Yay for second chances!
Sorry, but we only sell them in packs of four. Trust us; you’ll be grateful for the backups.
Each pack includes a nifty, flexible, plastic-free cleaning brush so you can reach allllll the way down these skinny suckers. Hooray for sparkly-clean straws!
It sure is! Our brushes are made from plant-based fibres sourced from the sisal plant, a super-cool product sustainably harvested from the leaves of the Agave cactus plant. 100% plastic-free? CHECK.
To clean your straws, we recommend rinsing in clean water, giving the insides a little tickle with the included cleaning brush and some dishwashing liquid, then leaving to dry. If you’re not using your straws for an extended period of time, store them in the freezer to prolong their life. Oh, and don’t ever leave your straws soaking in washing water – it ruins the bamboo. (Ew.)
Looking to boost your cleaning powers? Every few months, boil some water with a dash of salt or vinegar and soak your straws for a few minutes. This will rid them of any lurking nasties and keep them looking (and smelling) super fresh!
You mean besides the fact that it’s estimated as many as 8.3 billion plastic straws pollute the world’s beaches?
*Pause to let that number sink in.*
Our reusable straws are made from natural, sustainable, compostable bamboo which will organically decompose in your garden and leave zero-waste behind at the end of their life – unlike their plastic counterparts which take anywhere from 50 to 200 years to break down. (Yuck.) And since we’re all about raising little Boos who are going to change the world for the better, it makes sense that we start showing them how to do it where it matters: here and now.
It’s simple: Ditch the plastic. Buy reusable. Do better. Be better.
