Sustainability Problem:
Plastic waste is a problem, because it takes hundred of thousands of years to degrade.
Technology:
Bowl is made out of a layer of leaves, a layer of water-proof leaf-made paper, and another layer of leaves. These layers are compressed with a machine press and the leaves are stitched together with palm fibers
Stakeholders:
- Citizens of the world
- Waste Management Facilities
- Governments
Steps to Deployment:
- Continue gathering support on Kickstarter
- Advertise on Social Media
I haven’t heard of the bowl before but I have heard of recyclable tableware, a spoon made from bamboo. This type of cookware is a good alternative to plasticware that people use and then throw out after one time use.

Great post! Thank you for sharing! What a neat idea, great for camping and easy compost! They almost seem to be a novelty purchase – it would be interesting to see how they would be marketed and perceived by consumers. Will be interesting to follow!
