Tweet

Nature has been suffering every single day for man's trash. It's been difficult to find solutions when it comes to sustainability and garbage disposal. More often these, waste includes plastic wares that for some might find very convenient because they don't need to clean up the dishes once done eating. What they don't realize is that it plays a big role on hurting nature. Good thing start-up companies are trying new ways and means to deal with sustainable living and a zero-waste form of lifestyle. One start-up brand namely "Bakeys" developed a unique way of using materials that can be disposable and at the same time edible. Bakey's made a Kickstarter campaign on it's innovative product which is "Edible Spoons" developed by Narayana Paesapaty a researcher and agricultural consultant from India as an eco-friendly alternative to disposable utensils. The spoons are made of millet, rice and wheat flours and is very eco-vegan friendly compared to the traditional plastic spoons. Consumers have the option to dispose the product after using or eat it since the components of it is made from food source, it can easily be decomposed. Do you think this will be a solution from the plastic waste we have? Is this a great way to start a sustainable living? Photo courtesy of Huffington Post
