BALU - Bowls & More

BALU is a German company that manufactures sustainable coconut bowls and food storage solutions from upcycled coconut shells, headquartered in Germany.

Here are key aspects of the company:

• Sustainability: The company actively combats CO2 and methane emissions by utilizing coconut shell waste instead of contributing to deforestation or plastic pollution through wood or plastic alternatives.
• Certifications & Safety: All products are certified vegan, tested for food safety, and treated exclusively with organic coconut oil.
• Ethical Operations: As a women-led startup, the business supports a small woman-owned enterprise in Vietnam and pays employees two to three times higher wages than industry competitors.
• Resource Management: Manufacturing resources come from their own sustainable cultivation where harvested trees are replaced with new ones once they no longer bear fruit.

BALU combines ethical sourcing with environmental stewardship to offer eco-friendly dining solutions that support both local communities and global sustainability goals.
