Wooden Cutlery in Swiss Restaurants

Strange:

99 percent of human beings are able to drink from a glass or cup. Nevertheless, it has become customary to use Straws. In Switzerland alone, billions of drinking straws are used every year – and most of them are made of plastic. To make a contribution to reducing the horrendous amounts of plastic waste, there are now in Supermarket restaurants only sustainable Straws and sustainable take-away cutlery. The straws are from thick cardboard, which is stable against liquids even after many hours. Plastic forks, spoons, and knives are replaced with those made of wood, which in turn is FSC-certified. Cutlery and Straws from renewable raw materials can be easily disposed of through home trash disposal.

Through this measure, the restaurants save a total of five tons of plastic a year.
