edible cutlery

Puneet Dutta’s Attaware Biodegradable Private Limited, based in Delhi, manufactures sustainable alternatives to single-use plastic and thermocol cutlery.

Biodegradable and eco-friendly tableware by these eight Indian brands will force you to rethink your lifestyle.

Kerala-based Vinayakumar Balakrishnan runs Thooshan with his wife Indira. Together they make eco-friendly tableware using rice and wheat bran. Here’s their story.

An edible cutlery startup, Attaware was started by Puneet Dutta as tasty and sustainable alternative to plastic disposables.

Anusuya Samantaray, a student of Ku Leuven University in Belgium, along with her friends Varun Singh and Apoorva Vardhan, has innovated edible alternatives for single-use plastic items like spoons and cups using a by-product from breweries.

'Nom', a Thane-based startup has launched biscuit-like straws that are made from plant-based ingredients.

EdiblePRO products are made from millets, grains, pulses and spices that are directly sourced from local farmers. This makes their cutlery rich in fibre and protein.

While this is certainly a step in the right direction for a sustainable future, learning about alternatives to plastic before the ban will be helpful in making the shift!

The cost of a single spoon ranges from ₹3 to ₹6, depending on quantity and flavour.
