Carbon-Negative* Fork
How did we create a piece of cutlery that helps to consume greenhouse gases? Our new Monogram® Carbon-Negative* Cutlery is made from a blend of three components: an innovative greenhouse gas-derived biomaterial combined with traditional polypropylene and minerals. The biomaterial is derived from a micro-organism that feeds on greenhouse gases - including methane - from old mines, landfills, dairy farms and other sources. The product's negative carbon footprint is based on an independent life cycle assessment, as verified by a third party.*
