Abstract
Rapid industrialization and urbanization has caused the production of enormous amount of solid wastes. Many nations today are facing environmental pollution due to improper solid waste disposal. Especially, plastic waste disposal has increased rapidly in the last few decades. Researchers are working on safely disposing the solid wastes and recovering wealth out these waste materials. With a view of reducing plastic waste disposal and protecting the health of people, many entrepreneurs have developed an innovative tableware which is edible as well as bio-degradable. This aim of this paper is to review the bits and pieces of work being done on edible tableware in various parts of the world. In addition, the edible tableware developed by individual artists has also been reviewed. The future scope of research in this domain has also been looked at towards the end of this review. We believe that edible tableware could be a potential source for replacement of plastic utensils, thereby providing scope for environmental protection, leading to sustainable development.
