Our Process
Developing and sustaining an eco-conscious supply chain is important to us. Rainforest Bowls commits to an ‘Earth-focused’ approach that prioritizes sustainably planted and harvested raw materials, employs community-led cooperatives, respects traditional and local belief systems, and rejuvenates industries and economies.
Create
We conceptualize innovative kitchenware and garden decor made of all-natural materials. Using high-quality wood and other organic resources, we provide timeless homewares that are easy to maintain and built to last a lifetime.
- We have 100+ styles to choose from.
- Our items are made from 100% natural coconut shells, acacia, bamboo, and olive woods sourced from developing regions.
- All products are handmade and free from toxic chemicals.
Connect
We source and partner with small, family-run, rural artisans who have mastered working with the material. We collaborate with them to highlight the Best of Nature with respect to their cultures, beliefs, and regulations.
- Our artisan partners employ an average of 30-50 men and women from local tribes.
- Our engagements with artisans are compliant with fair trade standards.
Support
We place a sizable production order that generates multiple local jobs. We nurture our relationships with our partner-artisans, support the growth of their businesses, and ensure we remain their trusted partners for the long-term.
- The artisanal industry employs millions of ethnic minorities, farmers, and skilled wood workers in developing regions.
- Rainforest Bowls orders tens of thousands of units from its partner artisans every year.
Sustain
We hand wrap the items in eco-friendly packaging that details where our products come from and how they are made. Transparency is a core value and we make sure to include important information to help customers better appreciate their new pieces.
- Our products are packaged using recycled paper and mailers commensurate with the size of orders.
- We ship via USPS First Class, 2- Day Priority, or UPS Ground for domestic orders. Learn more about their sustainability practices.

Participate
Giving back to the Earth is one of the reasons we exist. We donate more than 2% of our annual revenue to social development organizations and we plant 1 tree for every product sold. We have successfully planted 100,000 trees in Vietnam and South Africa and aim to do more.
- We supported farmer communities in Senegal and rural Vietnam
- We work with Trees for the Future and One Tree Planted for tangible, long-term impact
Our Corporate Responsibility in Action
For every action, we strive for an equal and positive reaction. What began as a humble effort to help lessen landfill congestion in rural Vietnam has now become a global mission to restore our planet. Learn more about our impact and how you can join our vision for a greener Earth.
