Introductory note

It includes both all-bamboo products and bamboo composites replacing some or all plastic.

The official 2025 product catalogue defines bamboo substitution as replacing plastic products with bamboo products. This includes full or partial replacement using all-bamboo products or bamboo-based composites.

A bamboo-handled brush, a molded bamboo-fiber container and a bamboo winding composite pipe can have very different compositions and requirements. The word “bamboo” does not describe all of these differences.

Start with the replaced component, composition and intended use, then examine testing and disposal information. The policy term alone does not prove a finished product is plastic-free, biodegradable or lower-carbon.

Questions to explore next

• Is the whole product or one component being replaced?
• What other materials remain?
• What does the intended use require?
