As we all try and live our lives as green as possible, once simple pleasures such as having a family BBQ with disposable plates and cutlery have now become taboo. Aspenware, a company based in British Columbia, Canada may have the solution to put the convenience back into the BBQ while helping you live green at the same time. Aspenware has developed a process that enables them to turn trees that would normally just rot after logging left them behind into cutlery for your table! The company claims their product will totally break down in your backyard compost within 65 days - with proper management of course.  Northern BC could soon be on the cutting edge of an industry that turns wood from undervalued tree species into intriguing disposable cutlery. It’s a concept that could bring manufacturing and forestry jobs to northern BC, diversifying the current industry and helping buffer against the economic downturn many predict will follow the mountain pine beetle. The product has also prompted questions from some consumers about whether anything disposable can be truly sustainable.
