SALT LAKE CITY, May 9, 2018 -- Eco-Products has teamed up with Zao Asian Café to introduce an innovative bowl that does double duty: Guests can eat from the bowl while dining in or use it as a takeout container for their meal at home.
They can also feel better knowing that the bowls are made from sugarcane fiber -- a 100 percent renewable resource that can be grown again and again.
