WHAT IS GREEN TONES?
Green Tones is eco-friendly homeware, typically offered in bright and bold colours. Much of the range is moulded in Bamboo Fibre, a recycled composite. Other materials include wood fibre. The range has been developed over ten years.
What is Bamboo Fibre?
Bamboo fibre mostly comprises powder ground out of either end of life bamboo products - such as chopsticks, placemats, decking and scaffolding - or the offcuts from their production. This powder is mixed with organic corn starch, a small amount of resin (melamine) for binding and food grade dyes.
Composition
Bamboo Fibre is made up of several ingredients. Whilst the exact balance can vary according to the item being produced, a typical batch of Bamboo Fibre comprises:
70% Bamboo powder
20% Melamine Resin
10% Cornstarch
Why we use melamine resin
It is required to bond the composite. We are working on other resins, but as yet no cost efficient alternative with similar bonding capabilities is available. All reasonably priced Bamboo Fibre products contain melamine, despite what other sellers may claim.
