NEW: World Centric Bamboo Cutlery
Our new cutlery is made from FSC® Certified bamboo and is made at a factory that relies on solar-powered energy. Because of this and the carbon sequestration of bamboo roots, these utensils are considered a carbon negative product. The FSC third-party certification ensures that the bamboo we source is being sustainably and responsibly managed. FSC criteria include protecting water quality, prohibiting harvest of rare, old growth forests, preventing loss of natural forest cover and prohibiting the use of highly hazardous chemicals during the growing process.
Bamboo is a material of natural origin and does not have any plastic additives or lining, allowing it to be discarded with yard waste and be composted. Bamboo positively contributes to compost as a carbon source and can be accepted in a wider number of composting facilities, such as facilities that accept yard waste and food waste. This allows for a higher likelihood of cutlery being composted and fulfilling the closed-loop design of our products.
We’re replacing harmful plastic utensils with utensils made from sustainable materials, like bamboo, that are plant-based and compostable. Plastic cutlery is made from petroleum, is too small to be recycled easily and will never decompose. It’s one of the most frequently found pieces of plastic trash in oceans. On land, it contributes to the containers and food packaging that take up 23% of landfills according to the EPA. Sadly, Americans continue using 100 million plastic utensils everyday.
