Parents want the best for their children, and this applies to tableware as well. But how do you choose safe and eco-friendly children’s tableware that supports child development and is environmentally friendly? In this short guide, we explain why plant-based and non-toxic materials are the best choice for the little ones in your family.
Why Are Eco-Friendly Children’s Tableware an Important Choice?
Traditional plastic children’s tableware may contain harmful chemicals such as BPA, phthalates, and melamine, which can leach into food and pose health risks. In contrast, eco-friendly children’s tableware is made from safe, non-toxic, and durable materials, protecting your child’s health while reducing environmental impact.
What Are Bio-Based Materials?
Bio-based materials are made from renewable natural resources, such as wood fibers and plant-based polymers (e.g., sugarcane). They are:
✅ Safe – free from harmful chemicals
✅ Eco-friendly – reduce the use of fossil raw materials
✅ Durable – designed to withstand daily use
Skandino’s children’s tableware is made from an innovative biomaterial that combines Nordic wood fiber and sugarcane. This makes the products not only safe but also naturally textured and aesthetically pleasing.
Why Are Non-Toxic Children’s Tableware the Best Choice?
Young children are particularly sensitive to chemicals as their bodies are still developing. Avoiding harmful substances in tableware is crucial to ensure that no toxins enter the body through food or direct contact.
💚 BPA- and phthalate-free – No hormone-disrupting substances
💚 No melamine – No risk of harmful substances leaching into hot food
💚 Smooth and natural surface – No micro-cracks where bacteria can accumulate
