I really hate when I see plastic waste scattered here and there. In today's life, almost everything is in plastic form. And unknowingly every single day, we use so much of plastic in one or the other form. Cups, pens, water bottles, tiffin boxes and almost every item has an element of plastic which will easily take 500 years to decompose itself. Due to different awareness campaigns and movements against plastic, many of us have started ditching plastic from our lives. We are looking for alternatives and things that are made of eco-friendly materials.
Alarmed by the dreadful reality that plastic and its decomposition both are harmful, Uttar Pradesh-based Ved Krishna came up with a solution to the ever-growing pile of plastic in the form of Edible Cutlery. His tableware range is launched with name CHUK. And I feel this is an awesome alternative to plastic plates, bowls, containers and lids. Mr Krishna runs a business in Faizabad, ‘Yash Papers limited’ that produces papers from sugarcane waste, for packaging and wrapping purposes. With aim of reducing garbage, replacing plastics with non-toxic alternatives, and making the Mother Earth cleaner, Mr Krishna started with an innovating idea of making biodegradable tableware in 2009. And last year in 2017 it finally happened, biodegradable tablewares are now available. They are the only pulp-2-product brand in the world.
CHUK tableware is made of sugarcane waste which decomposes itself into manure a few months after its disposal. Another amazing thing is the colour of tableware. Mr Krishna decided to retain the natural brown colour of pulp and avoided using bleach which is a harmful chemical used often in other conventional options. One can easily microwave or put the tableware in the oven to warm the food and freeze it when necessary. Do we need anything else as wonderful as CHUK? I don't think so. Their website says
"The short fibres of sugar cane are the best in the world for curving around all the shapes we need for plates and bowls and trays. We leave our products the natural shade so we don’t need to use any harmful bleaching chemicals. No human hands touch the product in our state of the art facility which ensures total hygienic products."
I went through their website and realized that they have done a lot of research and analysis on demands of different food chains. Mr Krinsa came in contact with many research firms and all of them want a packaging that should not harm the environment. The world needs compostable chip bags and environmentally-friendly barriers in tea pouches. And then in 2014, the concept of CHUK was born. If you look at the website, there are ample of tableware options available and many are on the way to come forth. You get bowls, trays, lids, plates and containers that are absolutely nature-friendly. And very soon they are going to make glasses, cups and sandwich boxes available for sale. The cost ranges from anything between Rs. 1 to Rs. 7, which is on the higher side than the usual plastic cutlery. However, Mr Krishna believes that it is at an affordable rate if we care about Mother Nature.
I am simply touched by their noble thinking and innovation skills. In this era of ignorance and carelessness, a 500 people organization is working hard to make earth a better place for coming generation. As a brand and tableware company, CHUK has partnered with many well-known food chains and restaurants. CHUK’s growing customer base goes to show how people are now willing to make a switch from non-biodegradable plastic and contribute their bit towards the environment in any way possible. CHUK is ovenable, microwaveable, and freezable. Is this not perfect? They say they are trying. I would say this is nearly perfect and I am in love with this idea. Hats off to their work. Way to Go!!
