Yes we’re pretty keen on vegetables here at TreeHugger. We like to grow them, cook them, eat them, eat off them and eat with them. We’ve no shortage of information about biodegradable cutlery on TreeHugger; we’ve reported on knives, forks and spoons which you can throw on your compost heap, from the States to Australia via oh so stylish Italy. However we do like to be thorough so today we would like to add the UK based supplier Vegware to our cutlery catalogue. They are working with the US company Excellent Packaging and Supply in order to bring SPUDWARE™ to the European market. SPUDWARE™ cutlery is made from 80% potato starch and 20% vegetable oil. They say they it will biodegrade in around 90 days and even quicker is you snap them first. Uh, after you've eaten that is! Via: The Observer Magazine ::Vegware
