Recently, there has been discussion about the possible release of formaldehyde or melamine with products manufactured from a combination of bamboo or other plant fibres and polymers. For this reason, the EU has prohibited the manufacture and sales of products made of such material combinations.
Kupilka products are manufactured using Finnish cellulose fibre, which is not included in the EU´s list of prohibited ingredients in composite products. Our products have been approved for use with foods according to the EU standards, and no harmful substances will be released even in long-term use – be it with cold or hot foods.
