We entertained the idea of injection molded plastic. In fact, in large volumes, it is a cheaper solution. But it uses up the earth’s resources, and well, it looks like plastic.  Cheap is not always best.  So we went to the bamboo cutting board industry, already manufacturing to a very high food service standard, for a piece we think is elegant as well as sustainable.  You see, bamboo is a grass.  Some varieties grow so fast, you can actually watch it grow.
