100% Biodegradable, 100% Compostable!

Description
These compostable utensils are made from 100% non-GMO corn starch PLA resin. Heat resistant to 120 degrees Fahrenheit.  These biodegradable utensils will completely compost in a commercial composting facility within 90-180 days. Home composting is not advised for this compostable cutlery, as they do require a higher heat to break down, which may not occur in most home composting systems.

Please note, that there is a difference between compostability and biodegradability as noted on our main bioplastics page. Compostability in addition to biodegradation mandates no eco toxicity and more than 90% disintegration into pieces less than 2mm within 180 days, according to the ASTM definition of compostability.

Q:  What is PLA?
A:  Polylactic acid or polylactide (PLA) is a biodegradable, thermoplastic, aliphatic polyester derived from renewable resources, such as corn starch (in the U.S.) or sugarcanes (rest of world). Although PLA has been known for more than a century, it has only been of commercial interest in recent years, in light of its biodegradability.

World Centric utensils are certified compostable by the Biodegradable Products Institute and meet ASTM standards for compostability.  Our tPLA products are guaranteed to break down in 2-3 months in industrial facilities.  Please check locally, as the facilities are not available in all communities.  Click here for more information on home composting.Click here to view non-GMO certifications...
