Let’s know the story of Attaware Cutlery.

As we know that we are using and dealing with Plastics everyday. But, do we ever wonder what happens to them once we throw them after usage? They end up in the landfills and oceans.

India generates 9.46 million tonnes of Plastic in a year. 43% of which is single use plastic like packaging and plastic cutlery.

This directly effects the marine life and also effects animals & humans who are the creators of this PLASTIC. So the Plastic pollution is a big issue for living beings today.

Plastic is recycled too. But, the initial segregation of plastic is not done properly, hence 100% recycling is next to impossible.

We are so addicted that every other thing around us is a plastic. I know it’s high time and also tough to get rid of it instantly. But every effort counts and slowly we can take the mess out of the Planet.

Humans started filling water in the plastic bottles, but gradually now filled the water bodies with plastics.

That’s so upsetting. Isn’t it ?

That’s when Puneet Dutta ,the Founder and Director of ATTAWARE BIODEGRADABLE PRIVATE LIMITED, founded Attaware edible cutlery in 15th Aug, 2019.

In the year 2019, Punnet was travelling from Delhi to Vrindavan. During his travel he saw something floating in the banks of River Yamuna. He stopped there and found that those were strofoam (thermocol) use and throw plates which spread over to 7.5 kilometres. The scene  worried him.

When he reached Vrindavan many Sadhus were distributed food. And an old man did not get a plate. So he used two Puris (Indian fried bread) and asked to serve the food on them.

And that’s when he found the solution to the problem of floating plates in Yamuna. He came up with the idea of Edible cutlery.

 

Puneet is originally from Delhi. He was a Global Recruitment Manager in California and now a full time entrepreneur creating these amazing solution and doing his part to save the earth and fight Use and Throw plastic cutlery.

As the title says Eat In It & Eat It. One can eat on the plates and then eat the plates too. They are made up of grains (all kinds as rice, wheat, barley, jowar, etc) and jaggery.

How Are They Made?

Puneet says: We mix grains with sugarcane juice and boil it at high temperatures to make it jaggery. Then we use jaggery chunks as raw material. We melt jaggery chunks and put them in moulds like we make idly.
Once they cool down Cutlery pieces are ready.

The whole process is based vedic technology.
For example, the temperature would be different on full moon day, half moon day or no moon Day or eleventh day of vedic calendar.

They are available as plates, spoons, forks, bowls, straws, glasses and containers with lid for storing food for 5-6 hours.

They do not melt, get soggy or catch microorganisms. They are single use and has a 6 months of shelf life. As they are edible, after eating your food you can eat the plates, bowls or spoons. They have no added flavors so flat in taste just like a papad or roti made of wheat.

But if you don’t want to eat, throw them and any animal or insects can eat. And if not it takes only 2 weeks to decompose .Whereas styrofam plates takes years and years lying there.

Thus, it has multiple benefits.
