Bamboo Cutlery

Disposable cutlery is the most exasperating thing for people trying to live a sustainable life, we hardly carry a spoon, fork and knife with us all time. When we order food online, plastic cutlery is delivered along with food. After single use the plastic cutlery are thrown away. Like plastic straws, plastic cutlery items are not recycled. They are too lightweight, and small. So, they end up in the landfills and waterways. Using plastic cutlery is an unconscious and wasteful habit. Bamboo made cutlery set of spoon, fork, and knife is the most convenient item for those looking for an alternative to plastic cutlery. It’s portable and convenient, one can carry the cutlery set and instead of using a plastic spoon or fork it can be used for both single use as well as one can reuse it also. Growing demand for disposable and inexpensive utensils in various emerging economies is catalysing the rise in the biodegradable cutlery market. They have gathered traction in a range of large gatherings such as parties, rallies, and social events. In several parties and big events, the demand for reusable spoons and plates is fast gathering steam.
