Hi and welcome to Bambu. We’re Rachel and Jeff, the founders behind the brand. We’re grateful you’re here and excited to share what we care about most: beautiful design, better materials, and the everyday moments that happen around food, friends, and the table.
We’re committed to creating zero-waste solutions that make everyday sustainable living possible. We began Bambu in 2003 because we knew we had an idea that could spark positive change. And today, we’re still constantly striving to set the standard for sustainable business practices.
We left our jobs in corporate America over 20 years ago to pursue the vision we had of a better way to do business. After watching big brands view corporate responsibility as a shackle rather than a chance to improve, we started with an idea for a business where responsibility was an integral part of everything we did. Not just a department.
Bambu began as a case study for how business could be. We wanted to prove that you could have it all. Sustainable product with direct oversight, social responsibility, and a financially successful business. We knew it was possible for business to create positive change. Looking back, we’d like to think that the experiment went pretty well.
We set out to create a business that reflects our personal values, and they remain unchanged today. At Bambu, we strive to:
1. Turn people onto renewable materials and discourage the use of plastic and other harmful materials
2. Support organizations doing good work and give back to the causes that matter
3. Treat people fairly and provide opportunities to others
4. Create products that are beautiful, affordable, and accessible
5. Be an example for businesses to operate responsibly and with care
We are proud to be a certified B Corp (), Woman-owned (), a member of 1% for the Planet (), USDA Biobased certified, a member of the Compost Manufacturing Alliance, and use FSC® certified bamboo for our products.
