Star Bamboo Singapore

I met the young team behind CHOOSE. at a recent environmental forum.

James, and his partner Stuart, opened Singapore’s first dedicated eco-store just in September, and already I have seen a healthy flow of traffic to their shop in Chinatown.

It aims to be a one-stop location for all your green needs. There are environmentally friendly alternatives for everything from household cleaners and organic clothes to energy efficiency monitors and office supplies.

All the products are reusable, biodegradable, made from recycled or recyclable materials, or made up of chemical-free and non-toxic compounds.

James and Stuart are also going beyond retail, and reaching out to the community. They’ve got a whole host of eco-initiatives, such as collection of recyclables, printer cartridges and toners, and compost, and even electronic waste like batteries (got discounts on rechargeable batteries!). You can also donate your used items ala Free Cycling.

Other initiatives include promoting cycling to work by offering secure bicycle parking, shower, and locker facilities. The 2 guys are leading by example and cycling to work.

And of course, now you can pick up Star Bamboo’s eco-friendly bamboo chopping boards there too!

So head over to CHOOSE. today and check it out for yourself!

Some great news to share with you: Star Bamboo just inked a substantial US dollar six-figure deal with an established distributor of handcrafted home accessories and gift-ware.

We will be producing eco-friendly bamboo chopping boards for them to be distributed via supermarkets in Germany.

Some examples of our bamboo chopping boards - see more over here

We have been expanding beyond bamboo flooring for some time now, and it’s heartening to finally see our efforts and quality recognised by a major European company.

Bamboo is such a versatile material, we have only just started scratching the surface of what is possible with it.

The hardness of bamboo makes it a logical choice for chopping boards. But did you know that bamboo also has natural anti-bacterial which helps to prevent bacterial growth? This gives great peace of mind for our users.

That is why bamboo chopping boards is superior to plastic ones. Wooden chopping boards are good too, but do we really want to be chopping down yet more trees?

OK, we’re looking forward to more good news from our Europe markets. I’ll definitely be keeping you updated.
