The Problem

Plastic cutlery was introduced to minimise paper and bamboo, and here we are doing a full circle. The single-use plastic cutlery has contributed to a global waste crisis, polluting our landfills, oceans, and ecosystems.

And now approximately 12 million trees are cut down annually to produce single-use paper and wooden cutlery. Disposable cutlery is a 23 billion dollar global industry with a CAGR of over 6% that has had little to no novelty till date.

The Solution

Edible Cutlery provides a sustainable and tasty alternative to all single-use cutlery.

Our cutlery is made from 100% plant-based, nut-free, multigrain ingredients. It is not only delicious but also completely zero-waste.

After use, it can be eaten or composted, eliminating the need for disposal. Since inception, we've averted 150,000+ unsustainable single-use cutlery items from reaching our landfills.

The Differentiator

Edible Cutlery stands out by offering a unique combination of taste, sustainability, and convenience. Our Edible Cutlery is not only eco-friendly but also delicious. Secondly, our cutlery is made from 100% plant-based, nut-free, multigrain ingredients, setting it apart from traditional alternatives. Lastly, our focus on zero-waste is a key differentiator. Our cutlery can be consumed after use or composted, ensuring minimal environmental impact.
