About our Products
The Need to Tread Lightly
According to the EPA, over 26 million tons of petroleum-based plastic ends up in U.S. landfills alone each year. With human activity testing the limits of our planet’s bio-capacity, we need to find better ways to tread lightly. Choosing eco-friendly products is one way to aid our ailing environment, so we created World Centric® to provide you with plant based, sustainably made products that are designed to break down and be returned to the soil through composting.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Compost
The Checklist
Since our mission is to reduce waste in people’s everyday lives, we encourage you to think hard before buying any single-use disposable products, even compostable ones, and always "reduce, reuse & recycle." When choosing any product, first consider:
- Reduce: Can you reduce the amount that you buy?
- Reuse: Is the product something you can reuse again and again?
- Recycle: Can the product be recycled after use?
- Compost: Can the product be composted and added to healthy soil (in an industrial or home composter)?
Making an Impact
It's about compostables... and a whole lot more
World Centric® is also making an impact by annually committing at least 25% of our net profits to support grassroots global organizations and non-profits dedicated to reducing human suffering, through product and monetary donations, encouraging fair wages, ensuring proper working conditions in our manufacturing facilities, and powering our office using renewable energy.
