I found the Bambu in a wholesale catalog, and did not get a look at the packaging, only a description. Only after I bought them from this non-returnable source did I learn that they were for one-use-only. SIGGH! Why would they even sell something like this? Who would only use it once and throw it away? Total waste of materials and manufacturing energy AND they cost a fortune!! We washed them and will try to get as much use out of them as possible before they go into the compost.

Transport is so often overlooked in thinking about how "green" something is - and disposable means a continuous stream of transport, rather than a one-off for anything permanent/reusable.
