It’s a sad fact that the United States single-handedly wastes up to 40% of its food production, coming out to 20 pounds of food per person per month. This includes the plastics utensils, plates, and other packaging used to either eat or transport the food that’s eventually thrown out.
When it came to plastic utensils, inventor Anatoliy Omelchenko thought there had to be a way to solve the issue. As a result, he invented the Edible Spoon Maker. The device is essentially a waffle maker with molds of small spoons within.
