is it really made of bamboo and no plastic? is there a recycling sign anywhere on a product indicating it is a plastic?

All of the material included with the Pail says "bamboo". I see no signs, recycling or otherwise indicating it is anything but bamboo!

Hi, No, there isn't a recycling sign anywhere on it. The surface is smooth. I'm not that familiar with all the products they can make with bamboo so I can't verify for you by just looking at it. You can see flecks/small pieces of bamboo though. I'll try to post a close-up shot if that would help.

All goofiness aside, bamboo is much more renewable than trees, however few if any bamboo commercial groves live in my neck of the US therefore I do see this as an imported product to the Pacific Northwest area of the US. To my way of thinking locally made paper towels only 20 miles away bamboo who knows how much fuel used to get to my home.....Toss up cause I love the idea of reusing and tossable combined.

The last bullet of the item description states Made of 30% post-consumer materials. So it's made with recycled materials NOT a used product.

I have no idea. It sounds like it is not made from recycled material. Try googling it.

I'm fairly certain there is no plastic. It appears there's a rubber grommet in the bottom of the shaft just above the blades that keeps everything dry. We've had the unit about a year and it's the best one we've ever had. All stainless as far as I can tell and my wife makes a lot of different types of soup and she loves it. Very powerful, attractive, and well-made. Hope this helps and good luck! :)

As far as I can tell (without a microscope - I'm a fiber scientist) it is 100% bamboo. The sides and bottom are certainly pretty hard as you would expect from bamboo and they have bamboo surface texture. Mine (I bought 3 units) were extremely well put together.

Not wood, looks like some kind of recycled plastic. It's waterproof and lighter than wood, but sturdy. We really like the chair.

None of it is wood. It is a very durable plastic which makes it easy to assemble and move.

Yes its plastic. No paper and not (as far as I can tell) recycleable in any way or form.

Since it was made in China idid not expect to find one, and being phsyic or is it psyco. I knew that! Look like most of the garbage plastics and I would throw it there. 2.0 most plastics are VERY QUESTIONABLE and I try to never use them.

I don't know if the product is made of recycled materials. The product is recyclable.

I'm wanting to say some type of "recycled?" plastic, not quite polystyrene, but a hard plastic. It is described on other sites as high impact plastic. Thanks for asking. Have a nice day.

It's a sturdy plastic and I think it's PBA free. Hope that answers your question. We love ours and use it all the time. It has held up really well.

No plastic and it isn't for a child. I bought it for my grandson and he was too young.

It's plastic. So different from other mixes, there is no sediment in the bottom.

I think only the cover is bamboo, and that is really soft. I ended up tossing this pillow in the garbage though. It was WAY too full of stuffing. I even opened it up and removed half of the stuffing and it was still too high. Instead off going thru all the trouble to remove more stuffing, I just tossed it in the garbage and chalked it up to lesson learned...never buy a pillow on the internet.

Nope, just good old natural bamboo... That is why it is suitable for cloth diapers.
