CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
Disposable spoons and forks are widely used, particularly in fast-paced societies such as the
Philippines. More Filipinos use plastic spoons and forks on every occasion since these items
are more convenient for them, but the environmental impact is a growing concern. Based on
the World Bank Group Organization Library, considering the passing of the Ecological Solid
Waste Management Act of 2000, deficiencies and problems still affect solid waste
management (SWM) in the Philippines. One of these problems is plastic garbage,
specifically the usage of plastic spoons and forks, which has an influence that goes beyond
the borders of the nation. Studies have indicated that between 55 and 60 percent of the
plastic debris that ends up in the ocean comes from the Philippines, China, Indonesia,
Thailand, and Vietnam. Only around 28% of the major resins the Philippines used in 2019
were recycled, making it one of the countries with the highest rates of improperly managed
plastic waste recycling in the world. Unrecycled plastics are dumped into landfills and
dumpsites, left as litter, or gathered in rivers, sewers, and drainage systems before being
dumped into nearby marine water bodies. Additionally, almost entirely in metropolitan areas,
most people use plastic everywhere, like in markets and at outdoor parties, which leads to
more plastic waste. Plastic pollution is a threat to all of us, living and nonliving. It will make
us unhealthy, harm animals and their habitats, pollute our oceans, and cause damage to our
ecosystem. In an effort to reduce the environmental impact of plastic waste, we came up
with the development of edible spoons and forks made from brown rice.
The plastic industry is worth 3000-4000 crores in India itself and as per the Central
Pollution control board in 2016 India produced more than 15000 tons of plastic waste
everyday (Publishing India Group, 2018). Our country Philippines generates a total of
2.7 million tons of plastic was annually and was ranked as the third country that generates

Spoon and fork has been one of the most simple cutlery devices that has been created and
used for consuming food. Who exactly invented these is still unknown. Jones (2023)
believed that spoons are one of the oldest eating equipment that have utilized by the people
and were made with natural elements like wood, animal bones, and seashells and the first
documented evidence of spoons was way back in the year 1259 in England. According to
Patil and Sihal (2018) silver was the most preferred metal for cutlery as it was non-reactive
to most of the foods until the introduction of stainless steel. Stainless steel become the
preferred metal for most of the cutlery as it was easy to maintain, non-reactive and sturdy.
The plastic industry is worth 3000-4000 crores in India itself and as per the Central Pollution control

and was ranked as the third country that generates way too many plastic waste and discarded plastic
that ends up in the ocean, behind two other Asian nations: China and Indonesia.
Some Entrepreneurs are trying to get new concepts or solution for plastic disposable spoon and fork
by introducing edible spoon and fork. It is completely biodegradable and does not require any special
conditions to do so.
Moreover, it can be consumed at the end of the meal. It can be used to eat all types of food whether it
is hot or cold, solid, or liquid. With the recent ban of some countries in plastic products people are
The main aim of this research study is to determine if the Brown Rice is effective as an
edible spoon and fork and it will also help to lessen the plastic waste production that a community
produces because of plastic spoon and fork. This study will provide information that may lead t o a
new discovery of new edible spoon and fork. The researchers also aim to answer the following
questions:
1. is brown rice (Oryza sativa L.) effective as an edible spoon and fork?
2. If there are no significant differences between the edible spoon and fork and plastic spoon
and fork.
3. Does the edible spoon and fork made in milled rice (Oryza Sativa L.) and last longer when
exposed to water?
Hypotheses
Based on the related review studies, the use of edible spoon and fork made by brown rice could gain
Ho1: There is a significant positive effect in health and environment when using of edible
Ho2: Using edible spoon and fork has a negative effect based on how it will be made
Ho3: There is no significant effect whether using edible spoon and fork or plastic utensils
Ho4: The production of edible spoon and fork made from brown rice significantly reduces
Ho5: Incorporating edible spoon and fork made from brown rice into the dining experience
manufacturing edible cutlery that could help reduce the plastic waste.
Future Researchers: The future researchers can also knowledge about edible cutlery in
this study.
The Researcher: The researcher of this study can also gain confidence in this study.
They could refine their skill, strategy, and knowledge in engaging to research work.
This research study is limited in finding whether the brown rice is effective to be a source of
edible spoon and fork, if it has a significant difference in or plastic spoon and fork, and is limited to

knowledgeable about edible spoon and fork. To further more understand the contents of this
research paper, here are some key words to help you out.
Brown rice: is whole grain rice with the inedible outer hull removed. This kind of rice sheds its
outer hull or husk but the bran and germ layer remain on, constituting the brown or tan colour of
rice.
Edible: comes from the Latin word edere, which means “to eat.”
Spoon: is a utensil consisting of a shallow bowl oval or round, at the end of a handle.
Fork: a small usually metal implement consisting of two, three, or four long thin prongs on the
end of a handle, used for lifting food to the mouth or turning it in cooking, etc. an agricultural
tool consisting of a handle and three or four metal prongs, used for lifting, digging, etc.

BROWN RICE INNOVATION: THE ADVANTAGE OF EDIBLE SPOON & FORK USAGE
SUMMARY
Edible spoon and fork made in brown rice is completely safe to eat. This makes them
chemicals like BPA (bisphenol A). Some plastics can leach these chemicals into our
food, which could have serious health implications. By making the switch to edible
spoon and fork you can reduce your exposure to these chemicals.
Edible spoon and fork is made from all-natural ingredients like Wheat flour, millet
flour, oat flour, rice flour, barley flour, chickpea flour. This means they are 100% safe
Based on the scientific results of the study, the researcher had drawn the following conclusions that:
1. Brown rice (Oryza sativa L.) is effective as an edible spoon and fork.
2. There are significant differences between the edible spoon and fork and plastic spoon and fork.
3. The edible spoon and fork made in brown rice (Oryza Sativa L.) last longer when exposed to water.
Recommendation
The researcher, recommend the following for the future researchers to achieve best results in their
future researches:
Time Management. The researchers must have a time management to ensure that they can
perform their different test; experiment and can do their research paper. Time management is
very important.
Work in an organized and clean space because it doesn’t only improve workflow by saving
steps, it also forces you to think through the different aspects of your operation, and how to
The future researchers should have enough money, or it is best if the researchers should save
money beforehand, for the future expenses such as materials, equipment and for laboratory
testing.
Seek help from Research Advisers. The researchers should seek further help from their
research advisers as the research continues its process, consistent consultation, ask for advice
