If the only thing more depressing than reading about the state of the economy while you eat your lunch is the plastic cutlery you’re using to chow it down with, check out these 100 percent compostable knives, forks and spoons by StalkMarket.

StalkMarket is a line of tableware and packaging made from sugarcane waste recovered from sugar refineries. The crushed stalks, which are normally disposed of by burning, are taken to a processing plant where they are converted into paperboard that is completely safe for your food.

The lines includes a wide array of plates, bowls, serving trays, to-go containers, sandwich boxes and cups all made of the sweet material. All of the products are said to be microwave safe and can handle boiling liquid.

StalkMarket can be purchased by the case at Branch Home or in stores nationwide. So while the news from Wall Street may not bring a smile to your face, maybe your lunch will.
