Disposable cutlery refers to utensils designed for single-use, typically made from materials like plastic, wood, or biodegradable substances. They are commonly used in settings such as picnics, parties, and fast-food restaurants, where convenience and cleanliness are priorities. These utensils include items like forks, knives, and spoons, allowing for easy meal consumption without the need for washing dishes afterward. While they offer convenience, concerns about environmental impact have led to a rise in biodegradable cutlery options, which aim to reduce waste and promote sustainability.
