For decades, plastic single-use cutlery/ food containers had been offered with food items from takeaway market stalls. However, in the era of increasing environmental awareness, cutlery of alternate materials has emerged.
As more people make the switch to eco-friendly options such as paper- and wood-based alternatives, questions about the safety of such disposable cutlery have surfaced, and in recent times, their durability & performance as well.
With their constant interaction with customers, suppliers, and the public at large, the Hospitality sector has a unique opportunity to lead the change and inspire sustainable practices while maintaining a good experience by enhancing all concerns that can be beneficial to their brand reputation.
