Eco-friendly and functional, Becothings are tough and durable. The Becobowl is dishwasher safe and will last for years in the home - when you are done, simply drill a few holes in the bottom and bury it in a flowerbed! Because Becothings are made from waste waste rice husks and sustainably grown bamboo, land is not being taken away from food production to make them (phew!). They are made from 80% plant material and the rest is amino-acid resin - they will break down in a few years once they are underground. Becothings run the Becofactory themselves, which is located in China, close to the source of the materials - they have a founding member of the company living over there too!
