40 billion pieces of single-use plastic cutlery gets used each year in the US.

In the year 2016 alone, 561 billion foodservice disposable items were used in the US.

Plastic starts degrading only after 700 years. This means that all the plastic that has ever been produced has not degraded yet.

Plastic remains toxic even after it breaks down. After it degrades, it breaks down into smaller and smaller toxic micro particles, which contaminate and bleed into the environment.

A 2025 Stanford Study states "scientists have estimated that adults ingest the equivalent of one credit card per week in microplastics" and "microplastics exposure could be linked to cancer, heart attacks, reproductive problems, and a host of other harms".

“We don’t need a handful of people doing zero waste perfectly. We need millions of people doing it imperfectly. ”
