Eco-Friendly Edible Utensils

Candy Cutlery is a Line of Edible Utensils in Different Flavors

— August 9, 2017 — Eco
While many consumers have started to think more about making sustainable choices when it comes to the food they buy, it can be harder to stay green when it comes to ordering takeout. Thankfully, a startup called Candy Cutlery is making it easier -- and more delicious -- to make eco-friendly choices when dining out.

Candy Cutlery is an eco-friendly business that creates edible utensils in a variety of different flavors, shapes, and sizes. The business was originally founded out of an effort to create more sustainable plastic gelato spoons. Now the business has expanded beyond just spoons in order to empower consumers to "create, share, and celebrate #LifesSweetestMoments while saving the planet, one treat at a time."

The main goal of Candy Cutlery is to offer edible utensils that serve as an eco-friendly alternative to disposable packaging. Every year, 40 billion plastic utensils are thrown away, which has contributed to ongoing environmental issues. In contrast, Candy Cutlery's edible utensils are a fun and sustainable way for brands and consumers to minimize the amount of plastic waste generated by plastic cutlery.

However, the brand is not only interested in helping to save the planet. Indeed, Candy Cutlery also creates products that are vegan, gluten-free, fat-free, and made with no preservatives, in order to help consumers make healthy choices. This means that consumers can enjoy delicious edible cutlery in flavors such as Cool Mint, French Vanilla, and Coffee, without worrying about the ingredients they are consuming.

For those who are looking for a way to help the planet while still enjoying their favorite sweet treats, Candy Cutlery offers the best of both worlds.
