We like to point out the inherent hypocrisy in many moves luxury goods makers display, and few areas display this better than the move towards sustainability. Dior's reusable straws packaged in expensive packaging made from non-sustainable materials is an example which amused us last year, and these can be found everywhere. The cynical desire to label things as sustainable in obvious moves to profit from it turns the stomach on occasion. However OTHERWARE manages to present a genuine effort to combat single-use plastics and the poor alternatives that exist in the Pebble.
Firstly the products it makes are manufactured from recycled CD's, demonstrating from the ground up the commitment to move away from manufacture of plastic. Next each kit contains every essential tool for dining, spoon, fork, knife, chopsticks and a straw, no sporks here. And lastly, and perhaps most importantly, these handy-dandy fold up utensils are housed in a stylish little packaged that can clip on luggage and be transported easily.
With the single-use ban in effect, having hygienic single-use utensils which cover all eventualities is more important than ever. And with collabs with the likes of SHARKITECTURE and Pharrel Williams, why not do it in style?
