So what is the best replacement for fast food and takeaway purposes? Bamboo cutlery?
Maybe you bring your own (multi use) take away container? Kind of like when you bring your own coffee mug to a coffee shop?

Why wouldn't they just switch to paper plates instead?

Fast food: metal cutlery at the restaurant that gets washed and reused.
Take away: your own cutlery at home.
