Cartoon: Plastic cutlery → Reusable cutlery One lunch,forever in the ground.

Instead of

Plastic cutlery Reusable cutlery

Why switch

Healthier

No flimsy plastic leaching into hot, oily takeaway food.

Greener

Single-use cutlery is banned across the EU — used once, then littered for centuries.

The impact

You, per year 100 plastic pieces
All of the world 810 billion plastic pieces skipped / year

If everyone across the world switched, every year that’s:

  • 810 billion plastic pieces

Reduce, reuse, recycle

Reduce

Carry a small set; say “no cutlery” when you order in.

Reuse

Wash it and pop it back in your bag for next time.

Recycle

Bamboo composts; a metal set lasts a lifetime.
