Disposable plastic forks, spoons, knives, and straws, are not biodegradable and not recyclable in most counties. They leach toxins into drinking water during their 600+ years in the landfill. Alternative: Use compostable food service items made from plant materials such as corn starch and cellulose, or carry your own utensils and food containers.
