hat if you could eat your spoons after eating your food, rather than having to wash them or throw them away? Narayana Peesapaty is one smart problem solver in Hyderabad, India. He saw millions of plastic spoons and forks in landfills. Plastic has only been around for about 70 to 80 years, and so far none of it has decomposed . We don’t really know how long it might take for plastic to decompose. Most likely it will be around longer than most people. arayana realized that if the spoons in the landfill kept piling up, there could be mountains of undesirable trash. He realized this was a problem that needed solving. Narayana invented an edible spoon that is made out of different kinds of flour and rice. The spoon is strong enough to be used with hot food but will decompose by itself in four to five days. Or you can eat it! It is completely natural and there are both sweet and savory flavors available. Narayana started a company called Bakeys , and now is dealing with an overwhelming demand for his products. His future plans include edible chopsticks, forks, cups, and plates.
