Cornstarch Cutlery: Made from PLA (polylactic acid) derived from fermented corn sugar — plant-based compostable knives for catering. Plant Starch Cutlery (PSC): A mix of renewable starch (corn, potatoes, etc.) and sometimes small amounts of polypropylene. CPLA Cutlery (Crystallized PLA): Heat-resistant, durable, and compostable in industrial settings. These materials offer a significant reduction in carbon footprint compared to traditional plastics.
