OVERVIEW:
Why we love these materials: Silicone is a non-toxic material, meaning it won’t leach chemicals in to our bodies, but just as importantly, it won’t leach chemicals in to our planet or oceans. Made from silica, a by-product of sand, it is much more durable and long-lasting than any plastic so its life-cycle will be greater. It is also a recyclable material! Having said this, Australia is a little behind in our ability to recycle it here and so at EcoCubs we are offering a program- The Silicone Send-back Scheme. Send your silicone back to us (we’ll pay the postage!) and we’ll ensure it is appropriately recycled at the end of its lifecycle.
Beechwood on the other hand is a totally naturally occurring material. It is non-treated, finished with vegetable-based oils only. So when you’re finished with these spoons, you can detach the handles and pop them in the compost or ground without any ill effect!
Why do we love them for our family?: Silicone is a naturally antimicrobial material, with low taste and low odour, and poses no risk to our bears. It’s also temperature resistant and won’t act as a heat conductor, which means it’s not going to become hot to touch. It provides the perfect soft and smooth surface to soothe little gums. With no sharp or rough edges, its flexible natures make exploring new foods and textures fun!
Combined with natural beechwood handles, these spoons are lightweight and easy to hold. Great for bubs who are just weaning on to solids or little ones who are learning the art of self-feeding!
