Whether you live alone or have a large household to take care of, you may feel confused, worried, or disgusted when you hear about the toll plastic has taken (and still takes) on our planet. Plastic products are sold and routinely used every day, and the result is a lot of plastic pollution and an immense amount of clean up to to figure out how to do. But did you know bamboo products are a great alternative to plastic products? It’s true — you can find bamboo alternatives for your home that let you get your basic needs met, without making you feel guilty about your environmental impact.
A sustainable, Earth-friendly home starts with small swaps. Making the switch to bamboo products is a small step that can have a big effect. Plus, creating a greener atmosphere in your own home can help plant the seed in others who maysee how well it can work for both people and the planet.

Yes, bamboo products are great for the environment. Unlike plastic, bamboo is a natural material that’s highly renewable, and it can biodegrade much faster than plastic, too. From eco-friendly alternatives such as bamboo cutting boards and bamboo toothbrushes (and even bamboo paper towels), high-quality bamboo substitutes are effective, cost-efficient, and products Grove is proud to offer.
Here are some other great reasons why bamboo is the planet’s dream come true:
Just remember when you’re doing your shopping and replenishing items in your home, you could say (in the case of bamboo products), the grass really is greener on the other side.
When it comes time to replace your favorite bamboo products, you may be wondering what’s the best way to dispose of them so you don’t create more waste — you know, the reason you swapped to bamboo products in the first place. Check out these key ways to say bye-bye to bamboo.
Bamboo-only products
If your product is made from bamboo and nothing else, you can compost it. For these items, you can break them down into smaller pieces and drop them into your own compost pile or even the soil in your garden. Keep in mind bamboo does take quite some time to compost down, so you may choose to take it to a commercial compost in your city or town instead.
Bamboo products that feature parts made from other materials
If your product features material other than bamboo — for example, a bamboo toothbrush — you can remove those materials (like the brush’s bristles) before you compost it or turn it in for composting.
Looking for a commercial composting center near you? No problem — there are a few ways you can find one. Here are a few options to try:
Here’s the coolest part about bamboo paper towels — they can be (and should be) reused. Our Seedling by Grove Tree-Free 2-Ply Paper Towels - 100% Bamboo can actually be reused for up to one week, which gives you so many more uses than regular paper towels. Just use ‘em, clean ‘em, and use ‘em again — it’s that simple.
Other benefits for using bamboo paper towels is that they’re more durable, plus, they’re made without harsh chemicals like chlorine, which many traditional, white-colored paper towels have. They’re also great for the environment, which, to us, is the biggest bonus of all. By reusing bamboo paper towels in your home, you’ll help save so many trees.
