biodegradable cutleryby laurie |
Looking to have a ton of people over but don’t have enough cutlery to go around? Really don’t want to buy plastic and toss it into the garbage after knowing it’s just going to end up in a landfill?
Check out this biodegradable cutlery. Made from potato starch, it’s not only biodegradable, you can compost it, too – it completely breaks down in three to six weeks. And while the price is somewhat higher, isn’t it worth it for never having to rely on petroleum-based plastic knives, forks and spoons again?
Available at: www.grassrootsstore.com
Price: $5.99 (package of 50)

That’s still a fantastic price point - just a little over a dime a piece is still very reasonable. I love Grassroots… I hope they come out with a holiday Gift Guide soon like they did last year… It was PACKED with amazing green gear.
There’s also a lot of nice looking birchwood cutlery for sale in stores like Pier One these days. And, I found this fantastic stuff at Conran online:

Love it, Dana! Just wonder: how the heck do you clean it? I mean, is it meant to just be thrown out after one use? I don’t think so…If anyone has an answer, let me know!
Cheers,
Laurie
Makes me wonder why I have to pick up Tim Horton’s lids when I wander through the forest. Why can’t Tim’s lids be made like this??
It’s true! I think they’d likely be more expensive…sigh. I for one would pay more, but I’m betting many wouldn’t…
