Chi is our name and delicious sustainability is our game.
Our not-so-secret passion, aside from sharing the chi, is finding ways to make sustainable retail the norm and make our planet smile (so, we guess it is a way of sharing the chi—with our earth).
One of our most exciting recent initiatives was EDIBLE SPOONS which quickly became an insane viral hit, with almost 3 million views across platforms and selling out a month’s worth of stock in under a week! With this stock, we were able to prevent over 100,000 single-use wooden spoons from ending up in landfill, that’s the equivalent of 19,000kg* of Co2 emissions saved—what a WIN.
This was the result of months of trial, but it was sooo worth it—bringing them into Yo-Chi venues was such a huge and exciting move for us. Yo-Chi Brand Director Oliver Allis says, “When we found Edible Cutlery’s practical, sustainable and genuinely tasty spoons, it was the perfect innovation for another step forward in achieving our environmental goals” and Abhinav Nagaraj, co-founder of Edible Cutlery, agrees, “It shows that customers are ready for better options.”
This insane milestone proves how receptive our guests and the Yo-Chi fam are to sustainable change. Ollie says that “seeing the positive response from our guests — along with the hard work of our teams — made it even more rewarding.”
Small steps for big impact. Edible Spoons will be back early 2026, and we can’t wait for everyone to enjoy them again!
