Bamboo cutting boards are an alternative to plastic or glass cutting boards, partially because Bamboo is antimicrobial. A study in 2012 found that bamboo had high antimicrobial activity compared to other woods in the Korean Journal of Food Science. During the harvesting process, bamboo is carefully chosen for maturation, markings, and size. The stalk is then cut into specific sizes and sent through a pressing process that strips the stalks into smaller plank-like pieces. Once the bamboo is pliable, a cutting board can be produced from multiple pieces by lamination.
