Sustainable sidekicks.
Take the convenience of plastic utensils, add a heavy dose of eco-friendliness, and what do you get? This biodegradable, reusable flatware. We’ve got more than a few reasons we’re fans...
- Biodegradable: Everything’s made from sugar cane starch and bamboo fiber—no plastic here—so it’ll decompose on its own in about two years’ time once its dining days are over. (That's a lot faster than the 1,000 years it takes a plastic utensil to break down!)
- Compost friendly: Have your own compost bin at home? These are good for that too.
- Tough as they come: Each piece can zip through the dishwasher up to 400 times—yep.
- Cleverly designed: That fork’s got beveled edges that let it double as a knife, too (who knew?).
- Sustainably sourced: That bamboo fiber we talked about? It comes from the leftover bits of bamboo that floor and furniture manufacturers couldn’t use.
- Party ready: These forks and spoons come in sets of 24 and 48—perfect for those times when you’re expecting a crowd.
- Take 'em to go: Since these dynamos are nice and lightweight, we’re slipping ‘em into our lunch bags, too.

Knork Flatware
Newton, KS
Here we were wishing we had a more sustainable alternative to plastic spoons and forks, and all the while Knork was dreaming up their trusty lineup of reusable and biodegradable flatware. Their utensils are made from sugar cane starch and bamboo fiber—aka sturdy enough to zip through the dishwasher, yet eco-friendly enough to compost all on their own (wow).

Perfect for on the go
I use these when packing lunch for work or when we need sturdy cutlery for picnics or days at the beach. They’re strong, well made, and easy to clean in the dishwasher. Highly recommend.
