REPLACEMENT FOR... plastic cutlery! did you know that plastic utensils are made from such low grade plastic that they're usually not even recyclable? they must be put in the garbage bin for disposal - sad. most plastic cutlery 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. in a nutshell, you won't regret bringing a Spork home!
