Picnic responsibly with veggie-based cutlery

I'm a big fan of spudware potato-based cutlery, so it's good to see you can get a whole dinner set made from biodegradable material. Not for your posh dinner parties, perhaps, but a great eco-friendly solution to picnicking, camping and other activities that can lead to knives, spoons and forks littering the floor.

This set has cutlery made from 80% potato starch and 20% vegetable oil, and is made in China under fairtrade conditions. The plates, cups and bowls are made from a byproduct of the sugar refining process. There's also a huge selection of biodegradable crockery and cutlery here.
