It might sound like tedious work, but every little step we take towards reducing non-biodegradable waste is an important milestone on the road to a cleaner planet. And now even bigger companies are joining the good cause too!

The cutlery remains usable for up to 1 year if stored in a dry and fresh place. After that, it starts biodegrading.
The secret behind this rapidly biodegrading cutlery is avocados - or more specifically, their seeds. And since the company is based in Mexico, the country that is responsible for 50% of the world's avocado supply, they're certainly not short on materials.
BioFase currently offers both biodegradable and compostable cutlery: the biodegradable ones reincorporate back into nature after a certain period of time while the compostable ones must be discarded into a compost bin to fully decompose.
Although their products aren't cheap, they're a great way to use a product that would otherwise be burned in a landfill.
It took the company more than a year to create this eco-friendly cutlery and the biggest challenge they faced was molding the material into the shapes of the cutlery.
