The results gathered from five selected respondents revealed the problems and issues being encountered when using plastic cutlery in terms of (a) burning of plastics, (b) mistaken disposal leading to pollution in waterways, and the largest problem is (c) air pollution. In addition, the given benefits of using the wooden spoon in order to possibly solve these issues are (a) good substitute in plastic utensils, (b) can help to manage waste, (c) helping the biodiversity by producing plants or trees, (d) more hygienic, and (d) more durable than plastics.
