Disposable cutlery refers to utensils designed for single-use, typically made from materials like plastic, wood, or biodegradable substances. Common types include forks, knives, and spoons, which are often used at events, picnics, or fast-food restaurants. Their convenience allows for easy cleanup and reduces the need for washing dishes. These utensils are popular for their practicality, especially in settings where traditional cutlery may be impractical. However, concerns about environmental impact have led to the development of more sustainable options, such as biodegradable cutlery made from cornstarch or bamboo.
