According to Plastic Pollution Coalition, more than 561 billion individual plastic utensils are used by Americans every year and it takes plastic cutlery up to 1000 years to decompose. Plastic cutlery has caused much pollution to the environment and harmed the natural habitat of wildlife.

That’s why Disposable Wooden Cutlery was designed. Wooden Utensils carry all the needed specifications of cutlery but do not put more stress on our planet. The lifecycle of wooden cutlery begins with nature and ends with nature.

Around the world, people are realising the significant problems caused by plastic waste. In the last 65 years, we have become increasingly dependent on plastic. It’s easy to understand why: it’s cheap to produce, light – therefore easy and cheap to transport – and incredibly strong and durable. But it’s these advantages which also make it so harmful. The micro-plastics that result from these processes are harmful to the environment. It is also very difficult to recycle, in fact currently only 9% of all the plastic produced has been recycled.

Disposable Wooden Cutlery is so familiar and widely used by a lot of fast-food restaurants, takeaway shops, or events and parties. But have you ever asked how it is produced?

‘Roadmap’ to slash plastic pollution

According to the UNEP report, the roadmap to dramatically reduce plastic pollution is to keep plastics out of ecosystems, out of our bodies, and in the economy.

The report outlines the importance of changes required to end plastics pollution and create an environmentally friendly economy.

Nowadays, when serving food, people often use cutlery made of plastic because of their convenience and low price. However, it causes plastic pollution and destroys the natural habitat of trees and animals.

Every minute, the equivalent of one garbage truck of plastic is dumped into our ocean. Plastic pollution is a global problem. Approximately 7 billion of the 9.2 billion tons of plastic produced from 1950-2017 became plastic waste, ending up in landfills or dumped.

Natural tableware, better environment.

Disposable wooden utensils are a sustainable way to reduce our reliance on plastics, particularly in the food service industry.

Green Living is not something too major or far-fetched. These are 5 simply changing daily habits to reduce pollution, aiming to avoid negative impacts on the environment.
