The set comprises [cassava plates, bowls and cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/talking-tables-table-kind) plus [wooden spoons, forks and knives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-kitchen-tools). The crockery is re-usable if washed with care, but will disintegrate within a week if left standing in water, or decompose in a few months if left on a compost pile. And if you are really keen on disposing it, the Picnic ware is edible too as it is made of cassava. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 62% | Activity: 81% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Edible Tableware:** Opportunity to disrupt the single-use plastic industry by creating a sustainable and edible alternative. - **Biodegradable Products:** Opportunity to create more eco-friendly products that can easily decompose in the environment. - **Sustainable Picnicking:** Opportunity to develop eco-friendly picnic products that reduce waste and promote environmentally responsible behavior. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food Service Industry:** Opportunity to develop new edible and biodegradable products for customers who are becoming more environmentally conscious. - **Packaging Industry:** Opportunity to create new eco-friendly packaging solutions that reduce waste and harm to the environment. - **Outdoor Recreation Industry:** Opportunity to offer sustainable and environmentally responsible products for outdoor enthusiasts who want to reduce their impact on nature. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [All-in-One Eco Party Plates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knork-eco-party-plate.md) - [Kid-Friendly Biobased Tableware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biobased-tableware.md) - [Coordinated Children-Focused Tableware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tableware-bundle-for-children.md) - [Compostable Cutlery Dispensers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cutlery-dispenser.md) - [Flatpack Metal Utensil Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uphold-cutlery.md) - [Compostable Fiber Tablewares](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/farmers-fiber-retail-collection.md) - [Aesthetically Pleasing Cutlery Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pocket-utensil-set.md) - [Reusable Folding Storage Plates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/calzone-tableware.md) - [Sustainable Edible Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/haeckels-3.md)
