Narayana Peesapaty is one smart entrepreneur in Hyderabad, India who one day looked at the plastic spoons and forks in landfills and decided there was a better solution.
He developed an edible spoon that is made out of different kinds of flour and rice. The spoon is hardy enough to be used with hot food but will decompose by itself in four to five days.
It is completely natural and there are both sweet and savory flavors available.
Peesapaty started a Kickstarter campaign to fund his company, Bakeys, and now is dealing with an overwhelming response and demand for his products. His future plans include edible chopsticks, forks, cups and plates.
