- A bamboo fork
- A bamboo spoon
- A water-resistant serrated bamboo knife
- A reusable bamboo straw (and coconut cleaning brush)
Why choose reusable cutlery sets?
France banned single-use plastic cutlery years ago, we were very slow to catch up. The recent single-use plastic ban has some exemptions, but includes a ban on selling plastic cutlery. But it still exists for items already bought, and the ban is not yet worldwide.
The size and shape of plastic cutlery means it often falls down storm drains and goes into the sea if littered. Where fork prongs and knife marks can damage soft-bellied creatures.
Where to recycle existing plastic cutlery
A few councils may recycle it, but most won’t. The best option is to have your community buy a one-off recycling box at Terracycle. Then people can deposit unwanted plastic cutlery, which are sent off in the prepaid box to be made into industrial items. The box can also accept:
- Sweet wrappers
- Plastic straws
- Balloons
- Plastic flowers, ribbons, and bows
- Tinsel
- Party hats and costume masks
