NEW YORK–The USDA has awarded bambu Veneerware bamboo plates, cutlery and serving pieces its 100% BioBased Certification designation, which certifies products to be composed 100 percent of a bio-based material. Veneerware is bambu’s single-use bamboo collection of plates, serveware and utensils.

ASTM 6866 is the standard test method for determining bio-based content, bambu said.

The company plans to add the BioBased Certification logo to its packaging and in its communication.
