Plastic cutlery are everywhere, and most of them are used only once.Billions of forks, knives, and spoons are thrown away each year. But like other plastic items such as bags and bottles-cutlery can take centuries to break down naturally, giving the plastic waste ample time to work its way into the environment. The Ocean Conservancy lists cutlery as among the items "most deadly" to sea turtles, birds, and mammals.

Birch wood cutlery is one of the ways to solve the harm of plastic waste. Replacing plastic cutlery with birch wood cutlery will greatly reduce the production of plastic waste.

Greenwood,a large manufacturer and wholesaler of disposable birch wood cutlery, has customers around the world working together to reduce plastic waste by replacing plastic cutlery with birch wood cutlery.
