Biodegradable Sugarcane Utensils

EQUO Offers Sustainable Grease-Resistant Utensils

— August 26, 2021 — Eco
As more consumers become concerned with the staggering amount of single-use plastic that gets sent to landfill each year, EQUO is helping make a more eco-friendly future with its sustainable products. The brand offers plastic-free, all-natural products that "will do no harm."

The EQUO Sugarcane Utensils are grease-resistant and soak-proof, offering a sustainable solution for concessions, quick-serve restaurants, caterers, the hospitality industry, and more. They were crafted by harnessing the raw power of mother nature, having been made from sugarcane fiber. The utensils will decompose within six months and are reusable within one day. Moreover, they never become soggy and are safe for hot foods.

EQUO also offers a range other eco-friendly products including straws made from coconut, grass, rice, sugarcane, and coffee.
