EcoTensil: “Greener” Alternative to Plastic Spoons

Even though people have become much more tuned in to the importance of making environmentally responsible purchase decisions and taking steps to eliminate unnecessary waste, disposable plastic utensils are still widely used by consumers and by professionals who work in the food service industry.

While people do seem to realize that disposable plastic utensils are not environmentally friendly items, unfortunately, convenience often wins out when it’s time to make purchase decisions. In many cases – such as for picnics and parties for consumers and serving takeout or holding taste-testing events for businesses – the convenience of disposable plastic spoons often wins out over the option of utilizing reusable utensils that have to be cleaned and kept up with.

About EcoTensils

Fortunately, with EcoTensil now on the market, making a decision between plastic and stainless steel or real silver is no longer the only choice when it comes to selecting spoons. EcoTensil is a unique product that provides an alternative between the extremes of plastic throw-away spoons and stainless or silver pieces.

EcoTensils are designed to be disposable in an environmentally responsible manner. When you choose to use EcoTensil for your serving needs, you don’t have to deal with keeping track of expensive stainless or silver pieces or dealing with the hassles of washing, drying and storing them between each use. Unlike disposable plastic spoons, however, EcoTensils are designed with sustainability and environmental concerns in mind.

EcoTensils are made from paperboard rather than plastic. The material used to make EcoTensils is fully recyclable and biodegradable. It is specially designed to compost very quickly. Additionally, EcoTensils are much more compact than their plastic counterparts. The environmental impact of throwing away a supply of EcoTensils is much different – in a good way – than tossing a comparable amount of plastic spoons into the trash

EcoTensil Size Pptions

EcoTensils are available in two spoon sizes: EcoTensil and EcoTaster.

The EcoTensil size is designed for full-size portions of items that can be eaten with a spoon. It’s a perfect choice for serving – and eating – ice cream, yogurt, soup, stew and more. It’s a great choice for food service businesses that market these types of foods and for families that pack lunches for school and work on a regular basis, or who enjoy camping and other outdoor activities where dining convenience is essential.

The EcoTaster mini size is designed to be a tasting spoon. It’s ideal for restaurants and food companies that provide opportunities for customers to sample items, as well as for special events like chili cook-offs and other taste test fundraisers.
