Last night for dinner I decided to try green cutlery in honor of earth day or green week. I have never used this before, and was curious as to how it would perform when I compared it regular old plastic forks and knives that I have been using since I was a kid.
Would it really make a difference? Is it work the money?
The cutlery I tried was from Greenwave and they market their product as a disposable ASTMA compostable cutlery that is made from plant extracts. I used the fork and knife, to cut and eat a piece of boneless chicken breast. I think the knife was a little flimsy, but it did the get job done. The fork was actually a lot heavier quality than most other products.
For the enviornmentally conscious person the green cutlery is an adequate alternative to traditional plastic forks, knives and spoons. The price are slightly more expensive, but depending on your customer base, it could be worth the good will with green shoppers.

I didn’t even know green cutlery existed. I’ll definitely see if I can find some around here and start using it.
