Portable plastic-free utensils for outdoor adventures

If you’re heading to the great outdoors this summer, PADI’s plastic-free Bamboo Travel Cutlery and Stainless Steel Straw Sets are something you’ll want to pack in your backpack.

Whether you’re on a dive or fishing trip, hiking, canoeing, trekking, walking, camping or simply going for a picnic, these handy utensils are essential for on-the-go drinking and dining – so you can enjoy your creature comforts, while taking care of the environment.

PADI^®, the world’s largest ocean exploration and diver organisation is committed to reducing the use of single-use plastics and has a range of sustainable, ocean conscious options for those of us who love water – and the planet.

The company has teamed up with To-Go Ware to offer a super-stylish, reusable, bamboo utensil set that includes everything you need for outdoor dining.

PADI’s Bamboo Travel Cutlery set is made from natural, responsibly sourced bamboo and includes a knife, fork, spoon and chopsticks. Heat and stain resistant, the strong and long lasting, dishwasher-safe utensils are hand finished with top grade, natural, food-safe wood oil, that won’t impart or absorb flavours.

Utensils are contained in a lightweight, portable case made from recycled plastic bottles removed from the ocean and are available in black, red and blue.

Simply clip the carabiner on to your backpack and you’re ready for meals on the move and peace of mind that you’ve made a healthy choice for you – and the planet!

PADI’s Stainless Steel Straw Set includes an eco-friendly jute bag that holds two durable and long-lasting steel straws, engraved with the PADI logo and a handy cleaning brush, which can be carried with you wherever you go.

Unlike plastic alternatives, these food-grade straws are non-toxic and BPA free to ensure stylish – and safe, sipping.

With an estimated 40 billion plastic utensil and 8.3 billion straws used every day – most of which will never be recycled, replacing such small things with reusable items is an easy way each of us can help save marine life and will make a big impact on reducing plastic in our seas.

To date, PADI and its partners have removed and reused nearly 26,000 kg’s of plastic from the sale of gear made of recycled ocean plastic.

PADI’s Bamboo Travel Cutlery Set and Stainless Steel Straw sets can be purchased through PADIGear.net and retail at just £15.00.
