Properties:
- suitable for hot and cold liquids and food
- biodegradable
- certified compostable to DIN EN 13432 (European standard) and ASTM D6400 (US standard)
CORNSTARCH PLA cutlery: For those who want to reduce their environmental impact but whose budget is a little lower, our Cornstarch PLA cutlery is a great option. PLA cutlery is made from 100% plant based bioplastic, and is biodegradable AND compostable in an commercial compost facilty. If the cutlery ends up in landfill, it still has upstream environmental benefits, such as reduced greenhouse gas emissions and reduced dependence on fossil fuels. To gain maximum advantage though, the compost bin (industrial compost) is the recommended destination, completing a cycle by enriching the earth that helped produce it.
CORNSTARCH PSM cutlery: Finally, our cornstarch PSM Bio-Cutlery is an even more cost effective option, made from blend of 80% starch with 20% conventional plastic. It offers all the functionality of traditional disposable plastic cutlery but less greenhouse gases are created in its production. It is biodegradable but NOT compostable.
All our cutlery is certified safe for food contact, is hygienic and odourless. You and your customers can relax and know that your green purchasing decisions are positively impacting the environment.
