Aside from the potential novelty that is eating potatoes with cutlery made from potatoes, Spudware is designed with the earth in mind; while it’s just as durable as plastic disposable utensils, its 80% potato starch/20% soybean oil composition allows the product a biodegration schedule of just 180 days. Right now I’m thinking about the scar on the bottom of my right foot I received a few years ago, courtesy of a broken plastic fork embedded in Californian beach. Chances are, if it was a SpudFork, that would never have happened…because it wouldn’t have been here in the first place. Spudware runs at $20 for fifty sets of knives, forks and spoons, and you can score yours in the US at Treecycle, in the UK at Vegware, and for wholesale inquiries, hit up Excellent Packaging and Supply.

We have this stuff at work.
It is a huge incentive to bring your own cutlery. Whoever told you it was just as durable as disposable plastic cutlery has never used it.

Good concept; it will be great in a bit more time.
