Biodegradable cutlery is made from natural materials that can break down over time, reducing environmental impact. Common materials include cornstarch, bamboo, and sugarcane, which decompose more easily than traditional plastic. This type of cutlery is designed for single-use, making it a popular choice for events, picnics, and takeout. Using biodegradable cutlery helps decrease plastic waste in landfills and oceans. Unlike conventional plastic, which can take hundreds of years to decompose, biodegradable options can break down in a matter of months under the right conditions. This makes them a more sustainable choice for eco-conscious consumers.
