Major environmental concern

Plastic waste has become a major environmental concern in recent years, and for good reason. Plastic is one of the most durable and long-lasting materials on earth, yet it is also one of the most commonly used and discarded materials, leading to a growing problem of plastic pollution.

One of the biggest problems with plastic waste is that it does not biodegrade. Plastic can take hundreds of years to decompose, meaning that it will continue to accumulate in landfills and oceans for centuries to come. This is not only a problem for the environment but also for wildlife and marine life that mistake plastic for food or get entangled in plastic waste.

Another issue with plastic waste is that it is a major contributor to ocean pollution. Plastic waste that ends up in the ocean can be ingested by marine animals, causing harm to their health and even death. Plastic waste can also entangle marine animals, leading to injury or death. Additionally, plastic waste that ends up in the ocean can also break down into small microplastics that can be ingested by marine animals and even end up in the seafood we eat.

Another problem with plastic waste is that it is a major contributor to climate change. Plastic is derived from fossil fuels, and the production and disposal of plastic contributes to the release of greenhouse gases. Moreover, plastic waste that ends up in landfills and oceans releases methane, a potent greenhouse gas.

Furthermore, plastic waste can also have an economic impact, as it costs money to collect and dispose of plastic waste, and it also negatively affects tourism and fishing industries. Moreover, plastic waste can also have an aesthetic impact, as plastic pollution can ruin the beauty of natural landscapes, beaches and oceans.

In conclusion, plastic waste is a major problem that affects the environment, wildlife, marine life, human health, economies and aesthetics. We can all take small steps to reduce our plastic consumption and properly dispose of the plastic we do use. Moreover, we can also support companies and governments that are taking steps to reduce plastic waste and invest in sustainable alternatives. Together, we can work to reduce plastic pollution and protect our planet for future generations.

About us

In 2019, a group of young visionaries created the MySpoon brand in the desire to create products that would become a healthy alternative to items that are in daily use, and which are very harmful due to their composition and properties. We have protected the brand and innovative design in front of domestic and foreign institutions in order to ensure a safe and high-quality future of our range of products.

Idea came from a study that showed the harmfulness of disposable plastic utensils in the Horeca program. The plastic from which objects such as spoons for mixing coffee are made is very harmful, both in contact with food or drink, and in contact with humans. Biting plastic spoons, which has become a habit of coffee lovers, has a very bad effect on the health of the teeth, but also on the health of the entire organism, because by biting, toxins from plastic are directly introduced into the body. After using disposable utensils, these items usually end up in landfills at best, and can be seen everyday on city sidewalks, parks, green spaces, rivers and lakes. The fact that something we use for a few seconds remains in the natural environment as a pollutant for 1000 years makes it necessary for each of us to ask ourselves about our awareness towards the environment that we inherited from our ancestors, and which we should preserve for our descendants. If you take into account the fact that it is plastic that is not suitable for recycling, the problem is certainly deepening. Bearing in mind that the ban on the production and sale of plastic products, including disposable plastic spoons, came into force in the EU countries, we come to the conclusion that all is not lost and that there is hope that the consciousness of the population will change.

Mission of the brand and company My spoon offers a solution to its consumers in the form of an edible spoon. We strive to provide healthy, tasty and nutritious products in order to raise awareness of a balanced and healthy diet. The goal of us, who make efforts to use edible spoons instead of plastic or wooden disposable spoons, is also to inform users in order to spread awareness about the harmful impact of these products on the overall health of people and the environment. Plastic is a pollutant from the moment of production, during use and after use. The wood is not harmful, but in order to get a wooden spoon, the trees must be cut, and that cannot be a good thing. Also, in the process of producing wooden spoons, harmful glues and other chemical substances are used, which we consider potentially very dangerous. There is an alternative and we will try to make our alternative available to the widest possible range of users. Therefore, if you are someone who values ​​a healthy lifestyle, then you are in the right place.
