Zenbird Editorial TeamAs part of the Panda Bamboo Project, Adventure World in Wakayama Prefecture is releasing new Panda Bamboo Tumblers. They are made with upcycled, leftover bamboos that are discarded without being eaten by pandas. The promotion of using reusable cups would also reduce the parks’ use of disposable cups.
