Biodegradable Cutlery

Buyer’s Guide to Choosing Biodegradable Cutlery

Biodegradable cutlery provides an alternative to conventional plastic utensils for cafés, caterers, takeaway businesses, events and food-service venues. Insinc’s range includes wooden and paper knives, forks, spoons, teaspoons, sporks, chopsticks, stirrers and packaged cutlery sets.

Options range from small ice cream spoons and teaspoons to full-sized 16cm, 19cm and 20cm utensils. Selected wooden products are FSC 100% certified, while coated and uncoated formats are available for different food-service needs.

Wooden, Paper or Bioplastic Cutlery?

Wooden cutlery is available across the widest range, including individual utensils and convenient sets supplied with napkins, salt and pepper. Coated wooden utensils may provide a smoother eating surface, while uncoated options offer a simpler format.

Paper forks are also available, along with sugarcane soup spoons. Several listed CPLA and PLA bioplastic products are obsolete, so contact Insinc for current alternatives where required.

Which Cutlery Size and Format Should You Choose?

Ten-centimetre teaspoons, paddle spoons and sporks suit desserts, tastings and small portions. Standard 16cm utensils work well for takeaway meals, while longer 19cm and 20cm options may suit larger dishes, bowls and catering service.

Pre-packed knife, fork, spoon and napkin sets simplify distribution for deliveries and events. Biodegradable and compostable are not interchangeable claims, so check each product’s material, certification and accepted local disposal method before ordering.
