Abstract
In the past few years, we have experienced a gradual shift towards greener and more eco-friendly substitutes for plastic and metal kitchen cutlery. Out of the many alternatives being considered, the most promising seems to be bamboo cutlery primarily due to the fact that it can be grown and harvested with little harm inflicted on the environment, is easily recyclable and contributes very little to pollution. With rampant plastic waste and deforestation ranking among the most severe concerns for the environment, both consumers and manufacturers are relentlessly searching for much needed alternatives that align with green living and eco-friendly consumption.As an aggressive cultivar, bamboo is both renewable and nontraditional materials used in kitchenware making it a more sustainable replacement. Unlike plastic which is a pollutant and metal that requires intensive energy extraction processes, bamboo is an environmentally safe and biodegradable substitute. Bamboos are low cost to produce and their natural antibacterial features make them safe for use in kitchens.This study paper is designed to evaluate the sustainability of bamboo cutlery, determine their market value and consumer acceptability, and examine their role in community participation in production and distribution. Also, it aims to examine the role of sustainable business.
