Fibreware

/ˈfaɪbrˌwɛr/ noun

Definition

Goods or tableware manufactured from plant or animal fiber materials, often biodegradable and environmentally sustainable.

Etymology

From 'fibre' (British spelling of fiber, from Latin 'fibra') plus 'ware' (from Old English 'waru' meaning goods or merchandise).

Kelly Says

Fibreware is booming in the eco-conscious consumer market—those fancy compostable takeout containers at your local health food café are probably made from bamboo, sugarcane, or wheat straw fiber.
