Alternatives to Plastic Utensils
Bamboo Reusable
​
Made from bamboo, normally organic certified. Some reusable utensils can be composted, although that might mean composted in an industrial facility not the home compost.



Bamboo Single Use
​
Often used at large events. These can be composted in a home compost. CAUTION - biodegradable isn't the same as compostable.


Edible
​
Single use made from natural materials made from flour, rice and wheat. Can also be fed to animals and often disintegrate when water is added.


Metal
​
Stainless steel. Long lasting.


Plant, corn starch​
​
These are often not compostable. But can be reused and a better choice than plastic.
