The sporks are made of Mater-Bi, a completely biodegradable starch-based plastic which stands up to repeated use and prolonged contact with liquids, achieving 90 percent degradation in about 50 days under normal aerobic composting conditions. Mater-Bi is produced by the Italian company <a href=\"http:\/\/www.novamont.com\/\" >Novamont<\/a>, which has won world-wide acclaim for its research and innovation in waste disposal methods. <\/p>\n<p>The biodegradable plastic makes Moscardino ideal for single use applications, but it can also be washed and re-used.
