Eco-Friendly Cutlery Kits

The 'EcoDining' Set Sanitizes Your Utensils After Use

— March 24, 2018 — Eco
Many consumers who eat their lunch out of the house find it difficult to keep reusable utensils clean and ready for use, so the conceptual 'EcoDining' Set has been created to help ensure this is never an issue.

Designed by Zhao Xiong, the cutlery set includes a reusable fork, knife, spoon and chopsticks that are all housed in a conveniently compact container that can be tossed in your bag for use anywhere. The case features a UV light within that will sanitize the utensils between uses to ensure that you never have to use disposable plastic options again.

The conceptual 'EcoDining' Set identifies the need for more efficient solutions to helping consumers shift from single-use products to permanent options to prevent them from falling back on old habits.
Trend Themes
1. Reusable Cutlery Sets - Opportunity for creating reusable cutlery sets with sanitization features to help consumers reduce single-use plastic waste.
2. UV Light Sanitization - Opportunity for integrating UV light sanitization technology into everyday products to promote hygiene and sustainability.
3. Eco-friendly Lunchware - Opportunity to develop eco-friendly lunchware solutions that encourage consumers to choose reusable alternatives over disposable options.
Industry Implications

2. UV Light Technology - Opportunity for businesses in the technology industry to explore and develop UV light sanitization solutions for a wide range of applications.
3. Food Service and Catering - Opportunity for food service and catering industries to implement eco-friendly practices and offer reusable cutlery sets as an alternative to single-use plastic utensils.
