#6 Biodegradable grill now available in US

In Texas, a 100% biobased and biodegradable grill originally developed in Denmark has officially launched in the US market.
The one-time-use grill, dubbed CasusGrill, is made from cardboard, bamboo, and lava stone. It disintegrates on its own or can be burned in a campfire after use. It weighs just 2 lbs, 6 ounces.

“In an average year, Americans can create up to 254 million tons of trash, inspiring our team to create sustainable and biodegradable products that mitigate our wasteful footprints,” says Susanne Brøgger, Founder and Inventor of the CasusGrill.  “We sat down at the drawing board and came up with a biodegradable grill that can be effectively used for 60-minutes and safely thrown into the fire.” The CasusGrill costs $14.99 and is available at a number of major outdoor and sports retailers.
