Yes, these utensils are designed to be strong and heat-resistant, suitable for serving both hot and cold foods in restaurants, catering, and events.

Under industrial composting conditions, earth friendly disposable utensils typically decompose within 90 to 180 days, depending on the material and facility.

Bio plastic cutlery is typically made from renewable plant-based materials such as cornstarch, PLA, or sugarcane, making it biodegradable and compostable.

Water-based coatings are used in a variety of industries, particularly in foodservice packaging, where the demand for sustainable, non-toxic, and recyclable solutions is rising , Water-based coating. Some common applications of water-based coatings include: Paper Cups and Bowls: Water-based coatings are commonly used to coat paper cups and bowls, providing a moisture and oil-resistant barrier that is safe for food contact , Water-based coating. These coatings ensure that paper cups can hold hot liquids without leaking or becoming soggy. Trays and Takeout Containers: Many takeout containers and trays are coated with water-based coatings to provide the necessary protection against grease, moisture, and food particles — Water-based coating.

Water-based coatings work by forming a thin, protective barrier on paper surfaces. When applied to a paper product, the coating adheres to the surface due to the resin’s natural adhesive properties. Once applied, the water evaporates, and the resin binds to the paper, creating a solid and resistant layer. This layer protects the paper from moisture, oils, and grease, which is essential for food packaging products like cups and bowls that come into direct contact with liquids and food.
