Knives, forks and spoons made of plastic, although cheap and easily available, have their disadvantages. The most important is, of course, the material from which they are made. Due to the fact that it takes a very long time for it to decompose, the continuous production of a huge amount of various products from it has a negative impact on the natural environment. Fortunately, more and more often plastic products are being replaced by equally diverse, but at the same time harmless to our planet, biodegradable cutlery. If you don't know what they are, it's time to change that, and then - start using them as it will benefit us all!

Let’s stop trashing the world with plastic
According to Greenpeace, the amount of plastic that has been produced by humanity in the world so far should be counted in billions of tons. And although the awareness of the negative effects associated with it is constantly growing (especially among younger people), the continuous production of more and more plastic has become a huge problem worldwide. So how should this problem be tackled? For example, by looking for alternatives for e.g. plastic eating utensils.
Biodegradable cutlery - unlike plastic - decomposes naturally. Participating in this process are, among others, water, sunlight and oxygen. Besides, it takes much less time than the decomposition of plastic. Therefore, efforts should be made to increase the production of ecological spoons, forks and knives instead of plastic ones. Why? Because their decomposition in the ground into inorganic compounds is safe for humans, animals, and all other living organisms.
Biodegradable cutlery made from corn
What is biodegradable cutlery made of? Among other things, from corn, or more precisely - from its starch. This material is completely natural, which means that the production of articles from it does not harm the environment. They are currently in great demand in gastronomy. They can be used by customers of more and more restaurants, bars and all other places where meals are served. The introduction of such utensils is, however, not only worth it because of its biodegradability.
These are ecological products, but also very durable and aesthetically made. Their price is also encouraging when it comes to replacing single-use items made of plastic. Similarly, the possibility of eating virtually any meal with them - whether it is in liquid, loose, or any other form. Supporters of biodegradable cutlery also value their usefulness when consuming both cold and hot dishes, and even drinks. Environmentally friendly utensils include, of course, also straws.
Do wooden forks change the taste of dishes?
Biodegradable cutlery is also produced from wood. And - importantly - contrary to some opinions, they change neither the taste nor the aroma of the dishes for the consumption of which they are used. Therefore, you do not have to be afraid of eating your favourite dishes with them as they will certainly be as tasty as always. Moreover, wooden articles have an even higher level of durability than those made of corn. Therefore, they will not break when, for example, it is necessary to cut through a rather hard food product. Thanks to their resistance to damage, they can also be added to e.g. take-out meals, as they will not be damaged in transport.
