INTRO made of PLA - a 100% biodegradable plastic produced from plants - this cutlery set has been designed to use whilst out and about and includes: a fork, knife and a spoon, combining both utility with eco responsibility. simply pop in your bag and go! it includes a knife, fork and spoon, each measuring approx. 14.7cm long. CARE INSTRUCTIONS dishwasher safe. REPLACEMENT FOR... single-use plastic cutlery! because most plastic cutlery out there is made from a type of plastic known as polystyrene. polystyrene or expanded polystyrene is more commonly referred to as styrofoam. it is very difficult to recycle styrofoam. most counties simply do not offer styrofoam recycling and thus plastic cutlery that is put into a recycling bin is usually just sorted out at the recycling facility and sent to a landfill. we don't want to be part of that, right?
