Karat Earth Compostable Fork, Heavy Weight - 750 pcs
Crystallized Polylactic Acid (CPLA): The Eco-Friendly Alternative to Plastic Utensils
CPLA, or crystallized polylactic acid, is an innovative material that combines the benefits of traditional PLA (polylactic acid) with added strength and durability. This plant-based compound is created by incorporating chalk into the PLA production process, resulting in a stronger and more heat-resistant final product.
One of the key advantages of CPLA utensils is their suitability for use with hot foods, such as soups, meats, and hot dishes like fajitas or pasta. The Karat Earth Heavy Weight CPLA Fork, for instance, is significantly stronger than standard PLA utensils, yet it is still made from a fully compostable material. This allows your customers to enjoy their hot meals with a quality utensil, and then simply toss the fork into a compost bin when they're finished.
By offering CPLA cutlery, you can provide your customers with an eco-friendly alternative to traditional plastic utensils, reducing your environmental impact and promoting sustainability. CPLA is derived from renewable resources, such as corn starch or sugar cane, making it a more sustainable choice compared to petroleum-based plastics.
When it comes to disposing of CPLA utensils, the best option is to drop them off at a commercial composting facility. This allows the material to break down and decompose properly, rather than ending up in a landfill or the ocean. Alternatively, you can collect CPLA and other compostable items in a compost bin and periodically take them to a commercial composting site.
It's important to note that CPLA utensils should never be placed in a recycling bin. Unlike traditional plastics, CPLA is not suitable for recycling and may actually have negative effects on the recycling process. The composting process is the preferred and most eco-friendly disposal method for CPLA.
By making the switch to CPLA utensils, you can demonstrate your commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility. Your customers will appreciate the opportunity to enjoy their hot meals with a high-quality, compostable utensil that is better for the planet. Embrace the future of eco-friendly dining and make the switch to CPLA today!
