Students from Kirori Mal College, Delhi University have started Project Patradya, a two tier model based on finding alternatives for plastic products. While searching alternatives for plastic cutlery, the idea of edible utensils caught their attention.
This is how they got the idea: Their college is located in an area which is surrounded by cafes, restaurants and roadside shacks. Plastic disposables are either strewn all over the places or the garbage bins would see heaps of these plates. While finding alternatives for plastic utensils they came up with the idea of edible cutlery.
Ranging from cups to bowls, these edible cutlery are made from multigrains like wheat, rice and jowar. These utensils come in a variety of flavours including chocolate and mint. The students are working with a team of professional bakers to get the recipe correct. Each ingredient in right proportion is mixed to make the dough, then they are turned into sheets and finally moulded.
Benefits of the edible products: Unlike plastics which can't be consumed and are rapidly filling our dumping grounds, these edible cutlery have been certified fit for human consumption by Food Safety and Standards Regulations. These come with a storage period of 20 days and even if you don't want to consume these utensils, they can be planted causing zero wastage.
