Waddington North America, a Novolex brand, has received a patent for Cutlerease, a dispenser that offers customers one disposable utensil at a time, according to a press release.

Novolex can now offer customers the opportunity to lease or buy Cutlerease dispensers. The system cuts waste, reduces the spread of germs, saves space and provides guests with a more convenient way to get utensils.

Customers withdraw the utensil from the dispenser by pulling on the handle of the spoon, fork or knife that they want. After the utensil is removed, another pops out, ready for the next guest.

The refill system features does not require employees to touch the actual cutlery.
