Everything we do in our everyday lives impacts the future of life on Earth. We all have a choice to make: continue on a path that leads to a collapsed world, or contribute to a healthy ecosystem, social and economic equality, thriving habitats and a better quality of life for all.

Zero Waste Consciousness
We can choose new ways to live that tread lightly on a planet that’s already stretched to its limits of bio-capacity. Choosing plant-based, eco-friendly products is one way to impact our ailing environment. And World Centric® compostable products are lighter impact alternatives to everyday plastic and Styrofoam disposables. Our products are designed to transform waste into new soil through composting. They use less energy and water to manufacture, make less pollution than petroleum-based products, and are made from renewable resources and waste materials… the list of benefits is almost endless. Best of all, they save biodiversity and habitats.
We donate at least 25% of our profits to global grassroots social and environmental programs and to offset our carbon emissions from raw material to delivery. We strive for fair labor practices in our manufacturing facilities. And we invest in projects that offset all the carbon emitted by the energy we consumed in our operations.
With profits from 2021, World Centric provided 22 grants to 15 non-profits. Our grants are focused on providing basic needs, as well as economic and community development for communities experiencing extreme poverty.
Manufacturing bio-based plastic from corn takes 77% less energy than manufacturing conventional plastic from petroleum.
Making cups from bio-based plastic uses 86% less water than it takes to make them from foam.
World Centric® is not only concerned with where our products end up as waste, we are also concerned with where they begin as raw materials.
The production of bamboo pulp for plates emits only 65% of the CO2 pollution that is emitted in the production of expanded polystyrene resin for foam plates.
