Compostable CPLA Cutlery & Kitchen Utensils for Parties (100 Sets)

CPLA (Crystalline Polylactic Acid) is an environment-protective material made from renewable resources. Crafted through the copolymerization of lactide (derived from cornstarch, cheese whey, etc.) and aliphatic polyester (such as dicarboxylic acid or glycol from glycerol fermentation), this material is biodegradable and disposable.

Each set includes a knife, fork, and spoon. When incinerated, CPLA generates no toxic substances, and its heating value and carbon dioxide emissions are nearly half that of PE or PS. Although CPLA has a high molecular weight and melting point, it begins to break down into low-molecular-weight polymers within 5-6 months in natural environments, with complete decomposition in 12 months. When composted with food waste, the decomposition process accelerates, starting within 2 weeks.

Compared to traditional plastic, the environmental benefits of CPLA are significant. Plastic often ends up in landfills, where it can take up to 450 years to break down, contributing to pollution. In contrast, CPLA is plant-based and renewable, with a reduced carbon footprint as the original crop absorbs CO2 during growth, and it requires less energy to produce, resulting in fewer greenhouse gas emissions.

CPLA is heat-tolerant up to 185°F, making it suitable for hot food and soups. It does not dissolve in alcoholic solvents, oils, or diluted solutions of strong acids, but it can be dissolved in aromatic hydrocarbons, concentrated acids, and caustic soda.

The allure of CPLA lies in its environmental friendliness compared to traditional plastic. While plastic is often treated as a recyclable item, the reality is that only 8% of such items are actually reused, with the majority ending up in landfills. CPLA, on the other hand, is 100% compostable and biodegradable, certified to meet ASTM D6400 and EN13432 standards, making it a truly eco-friendly option.

CPLA products are BPA-free, healthy, and reliable, making them ideal for picnics, parties, and everyday use as dinnerware sets, kitchen utensils, and serving spoons, forks, and knives. Crafted from non-GMO cornstarch-based polylactic acid, these items are plastic-free, tree-free, renewable, and natural, with zero waste.

Each CPLA cutlery set is 7 inches long, heavyweight, and heat-tolerant up to 185°F. Packed in a compostable color box, these environmentally friendly products can serve as disposable dinnerware sets, kitchen utensil sets, or plastic silverware alternatives, catering to a wide range of needs.
