Becobowl | GREEN - medium 18cm

A Becobowl starts life as bamboo and rice husks, which are leftover materials from farming. These natural plant fibres are then taken and ground into a fine powder. By adding a biodegradable resin and pressing the powder in a hot mould the eco-friendly pet bowl is created.

Our most important material in the Becothings range is our plastic replacement made from natural plant fibres. It is actually a biocomposite which means it is a mix of biodegradable materials.

Around 80% of the material is made up of fibres from bamboo and rice husks. Rice husks are a by-product of rice production, so it is a great material to use as it is normally thrown away! Although you might picture bamboo as tall thin trees, it is actually a breed of grass and so grows incredible fast. This means all the bamboo we use can be sustainably grown.

Both these materials are mixed with a resin created from amino acids. It is this resin that bonds all the fibres together. Importantly it also allows the mix to break down. When you place a plant fibre product in warm, damp conditions, like a compost heap or buried in the ground, the resin will start to break down. This in-turn allows the fibres to break down, eventually the product will fully biodegrade away. This process will usually take around 2 to 3 years depending on the environmental conditions.

Just fill your Becobowl up with our 100% Organic Pet Food and you will have the perfect eco-friendly and healthy pet!!!!
