The new resin is a mixture of 70% non-GMO PLA and 30% talc. As a result of our findings, we have tested other heat resistant utensils on the market, and found that almost all of them are not compostable.

Our new biodegradable utensils are also heat resistant up to 200 degrees F. The resin is under testing for certification under ASTM-6400 standards. They have been redesigned to offer a more aesthetically pleasing line as well. Our non-heat resistant utensils do not have any issues with compostability.

Please note composting is required for biodegredation. World Centric biodegradable utensils will take 180 days to compost in a commercial composting facility. Home composting is not recommended as they do require a higher heat to break down, which may not occur in most home composting systems.
