Learn how to choose between biodegradable and compostable bamboo and jute travel supplies for truly sustainable journeys.
Why a Side-by-Side Comparison Matters
When you pack for an eco-friendly trip, you’ve got options.
Two brands stand out:
- RMT Global Partners – known for bagasse cutlery and Tritan glassware.
- Aegle Sriphal – specialising in bamboo and jute essentials.
They both chase the same goal: reduce plastic. But they take different routes. Let’s unpack the details.
Material Showdown
RMT Global Partners
RMT offers:
– Bagasse cutlery (made from sugarcane fibre)
– Plant-based drinking cups
– Tritan glassware (durable, reusable, dishwasher-safe)
Strengths:
– Sturdy enough for in-flight service
– Clear, premium feel in premium cabins
Limitations:
– Compostable only in industrial facilities
– End up in landfill if sorting isn’t perfect
– May leave micro-residues if labelled merely “biodegradable”
Aegle Sriphal
Aegle Sriphal takes a natural approach:
– Bamboo Travel Kit – a compact set of bamboo cutlery, straw, and accessories
– Bamboo Bottle – sleek, reusable and keeps drinks cool
– Bamboo Gym Shaker – your fitness companion on the road
Why bamboo?
– Naturally biodegradable travel supplies
– Durably designed for multiple trips
– Free from plastics and chemicals
And jute?
– A breathable fibre that’s fully compostable at home
– Ideal for totes, pouches and luggage organisers
Defining Biodegradable vs Compostable
- Biodegradable: breaks down by microbes over weeks or years.
- Might still need oxygen and moisture.
-
Can leave behind tiny particles.
-
Compostable: designed to turn into nutrient-rich soil under controlled conditions.
- Often needs a commercial compost unit.
- Leaves no harmful residue.
The good news? Bamboo and jute gear from Aegle Sriphal often ticks both boxes. Bamboo breaks down naturally if you plant it. Jute decomposes fully in your backyard.
Certification & Disposal
RMT Global Partners:
– Relies on third-party composting facilities.
– Harder to verify in every location.
Aegle Sriphal:
– Uses 100% natural materials.
– Backed by transparent production methods.
– Many items are home-compostable or easily recycled.
Pro tip: Ask your supplier for certificates. If they can’t share lab reports, you might end up with “biodegradable” that never fully degrades.
Design & Convenience
RMT’s kits are tailored for airlines and cruise lines. They work well in a corporate setting. But what if you’re a backpacker or family traveller?
Aegle Sriphal’s Bamboo Travel Kit shines here:
– Lightweight and compact.
– Fits in any carry-on or daypack.
– Includes a mesh pouch and bamboo utensils.
Plus: the Bamboo Bottle snaps into side pockets. No spills. No plastic.
Choosing the Right Eco-Gear
Ready to upgrade your packing list? Here’s your checklist:
- Know your disposal options
– Hotel with compost bins? Compostable works.
– Simple carry-on trip? Biodegradable or reusable is safer. - Check for real-world testing
– Will it stand up to a week of travel?
– Any sharp edges or leaky seams? - Aim for multi-use
– A Bamboo Gym Shaker is more than a gym bottle—it’s your smoothie cup on the go. - Read the fine print
– “Biodegradable” vs “compostable” can mean very different things.
Caring for Your Bamboo & Jute Essentials
- Hand-wash bamboo utensils with mild soap.
- Air-dry jute pouches to prevent mold.
- Store bamboo items in a cool, dry place.
A little TLC extends the life of your biodegradable travel supplies and keeps them looking fresh.
“Switching to bamboo and jute cut my single-use waste by half. I never looked back!” – a happy traveller
