Bamboo mugs have come to the fore in recent years in Greece as well. They are excellent choices for hot or cold drinks and most importantly are the best alternative to disposable plastic cups and bottles. While from the beginning it is important to emphasize that each bamboo mug is made of 100% biodegradable, recyclable and plant-based materials. Regarding bamboo, it is worth noting that it is a natural fiber that decomposes when it returns to earth, without of course contaminating it. Research has shown that a bamboo mug takes almost a year to decompose and this is one of its main benefits as common glasses or disposable cups take over 50 years to decompose. While it is observed that some plastics, also known as micro-plastics, almost never decompose.
