Single-use items or disposable items are products that we throw out after using them one time. A lot of single-use products are made from plastics or material that is not biodegradable, which causes pollution to the environment because it takes thousands of years to decompose.

Because of the convenience, a lot of restaurants use single-use products to serve food. Imagine that restaurants serve food for 500 customers with plastic spoons in one day, we can estimate the quantity is 15000 plastic spoons per month, which takes 500 years to decompose. The Earth will become a big garbage. That is why environmentally friendly products are produced. They are made from wood, grass, bamboo, and paper,… Eco-friendly products can decompose over a period of 12 to 24 months.

There are a lot of eco-friendly products restaurants can use to serve food.
