Product Information

If you’re looking for eco-friendly disposable cutlery, look for plant-based bioplastics and anything else that makes for certified compostable utensils. These pieces are handmade by the shop, but Smile Boutique doesn’t mention exactly where their Naamu wood is sourced and hasn’t answered our inquiry. Their handmade sustainable reusable cutlery is long-lasting and made using organic and sustainably sourced bamboo or reclaimed wood.

Second, disposable cutlery is relatively cheap and easily accessible. Compared to some sustainable and recyclable alternatives, the relatively low cost of traditional plastic cutlery appeals to many. Wishcycling is putting things that can’t be recycled – especially batteries – in the recycling bin. A recent report from Wrap estimates that nearly 17% of what arrives at a MRF are contaminants or what’s known as ‘non-target’ materials. Some items can be removed from the conveyors fairly simply (though it takes time and therefore costs money), others ruin good-quality recycling. Contaminants include: Not only that, but takeaway cutlery sets can be disposed of in multiple ways, meaning your customers can choose the way that is most convenient for them. Whether that is through a local recycling centre, or through turning them into compost if the recycling centre doesn’t accept them, you can be sure that the wooden knives and forks from your business can be disposed of in a way that will support the environment. Acrylic, nylon and other mixed plastics. These are almost certainly not recyclable in household collections.

Whether you want a wooden knife, fork, spoon or stirrer, Albiz have the cutlery you need to run a greener takeaway business.

Optical sorters also divide plastic by colour. Undyed plastics – called "natural polymers" – can be reprocessed into new products almost indefinitely. Milk bottles in countries like the UK, US and Australia are most commonly made from HDPE plastic. The body of the bottle is a translucent, cloudy white, the natural colour of HDPE, while the cap is often coloured to match the fat content of the milk. Plastic milk bottle bodies can be reprocessed into new plastic milk bottles over and over, but the coloured caps have to be separated and turned into a new HDPE product. (Some retailers are now starting to sell milk with a natural colour cap to make them easier to recycle.) Scrunch up foil Foil (if your council accepts it – our snapshot research into what councils accept found that some do not) should be clean and ideally scrunched into a ball that’s tennis-ball-sized or larger. Jungle Culture’s sustainable solution to plastic utensils is handmade by a happy band of family, friends, and villagers. The initial crafter of the utensils now focuses on building bamboo houses for the local community. This will help us to make the most of our finite and precious resources, while reducing carbon emissions and protecting our precious environment from harmful waste.” KNORK’s sustainable disposable cutlery sets are made from an Eco-Astrik Propriety Blend of 90% sugarcane and 10% bamboo, held together with a biodegradable, plant-based binder.

Use common sense with best-before dates. Many supermarkets have removed best-before dates from fruit and veg. A recent Wrap study found participants were more likely to throw away still edible items when they had an expired best-before date on them. Here at The Compostable Cup Company we offer a range of sustainable, eco-friendly products which are a beneficial alternative to plastic cutlery. We have an extensive range to choose from all at competitive and affordable prices, we always recommend that wooden cutlery should be your first choice. Our wooden options are 100% natural with no toxins or chemicals and crafted from Birch or Bamboo making them sturdy, sustainable and safe. If our wooden cutlery is not a suitable choice, we also offer CPLA and RCPLA biodegradable options, that are made from plant based polymers. All of our recyclable cutlery are suitable for both hot and cold foods! Our range of compostable cutlery includes:Keep most fruit and veg in the fridge It will last much longer. Exceptions include bananas and avocados (unless already ripe). It used to be advised that potatoes were kept out of the fridge but the FSA has recently revised this advice. As wooden cutlery is biodegradable, recyclable and compostable, it can easily be disposed of whilst not harming the environment. By using wooden cutlery instead of its plastic alternative, it means less rubbish will become litter or end up in landfills. This reduction in litter helps to prevent the local wildlife from being harmed, including the plants and animals that are found in that area. Don't recycle PVC clingfil m. As an alternative, some supermarkets sell non-PVC clingfilm, usually made of LDPE, but this would need to be taken to a supermarket collection point unless your council collects soft plastics.

Glass is infinitely 100% recyclable and nearly 69% of glass bottles and jars placed on the market were recycled in 2021. The majority of glass is recycled in the UK (over 80%) rather than being exported like some other materials.

Pigments in paper can be separated out more easily than with plastic and glass. Like plastic, coloured glass can only be downcycled once it's mixed together. The glass I saw at the Veolia MRF in Southwark would likely end up as glass fibre insulation. Whereas glass taken to a bottle bank and separated into green, brown and clear, can be recycled into new glass bottles. What started as a community for sharing food recipes and cooking product recommendations, has evolved into so much more—namely as a vintage cookware retailer. Collect steel metal caps Put beer bottle caps and other metal caps in a steel can and squash the top when ready to put in the recycling so they won’t be lost during the recycling process. We like knowing where and under what conditions items are made, and for brands that don’t give us too much to scoop up, we reach out and ask for seconds.
