Somehow, I got it in my head that I needed an environmentally friendly (at least partially recycled) spatula – I didn’t want to buy another cheap plastic utensil when so much old plastic is going to waste. It was much harder to find than I’d thought, I didn’t find any such options at cooking stores, TJ Maxx or Whole Foods. Even online, it was tough – apparently high temperature withstanding and recycled don’t go so well together.
I finally found an option online (Green Street), then I had to find a shop that sold it, which I finally did (online only). Since I was ordering online, I thought I’d best order a bunch at once to save on the shipping environment impact, so I bought a few as gifts (4 spatulas and 2 large spoons). When I got the box, however, it was 20 inches long by 12 inches wide and 5 inches high – WAY bigger than needed (they could’ve fit diagonally in a box less than half as big – the spatulas were only a little longer than 12 inches and the spoons were shorter).
Here’s a pic of the last two utensils with the box:
