If you absolutely must use disposable dinnerware, this biodegradable stuff is in the ballpark of reason. I'm now chewing part of a Tater Ware fork in my mouth and it appears to be dissolving down very gradually. However, I don't see how it or any other buy it/throw it/recycle it daydream can ever compete ecologically or economically to the few ounces of water and soap, and the few feet of travel, it takes to wash a dish. (Anyone who claims that hand-washing dishes takes too much water needs to learn how to wash dishes properly.) I'm not sure I care if you're having a picnic -- bring the lightweight plastic plates and live with the fact that you'll carry a stack of dirty dishes home to wash.

They are very low grade potatoes that won't be used for anything else. However the real problem lies in that a)It gets landfilled like trash because it can't be recycled since it is mixed with other plastics and heavy metals. Landfills are designed to be stable and NOT to let things break down. b)Shipping it from china on a diesel boat increases carbon footprint. c)Regular plasticware, made from PET, actually is recyclable and we have infrastructure in place to do it. So actually they are increasing the carbon footprint, creating a product that isn't getting recycled when it normally is, and putting more trash in landfills. They are actually ruining the planet, not helping it. The potatoes that they use aren’t used for food. They are very low grade potatoes that won’t be used for anything else.
