Why Use Biodegradable Wooden Cutlery

Not bio-degradable. Plastic is food for no one. It never completely breaks down.

Litter. Even when thrown into the garbage, plastic bags easily blow away. These bags are unsightly, distracting on highways, and clog storm sewer systems.

Can’t recycle. Plastic can only “down-cycle” – making at most one stop on the way to landfill or litter.

Toxic. Plastic particles get into our food and air. Certain types of plastic have been associated with increased incidence of asthma, cancer, or other disorders.

Kills wildlife. Sea turtles and marine mammals ingest plastic bags thinking they’re food.

Choking the ocean. Plastic debris has spread all over our beaches and into the ocean. In a recent surface trawl of the Pacific, six pounds of plastic were found for every pound of zooplankton.
