What makes Bakey's edible cutlery better than disposable plastic cutlery?
In India, around 120 billion units of disposable plastic cutlery is discarded. And since plastic is not biodegradable, (it takes more than 50 years for a single plastic cup to degrade), it leads to an increase in environmental toxins. Moreover, plastic is made of harmful chemical compounds such as polymers, phthalates, bisphenols, which are known carcinogens, thereby increasing your risk of cancer and other harmful diseases.
