The Cornstarch Teaspoon offers a sustainable alternative, while still giving the strength and stability of a conventional plastic utensil. Our Plant Starch Utensils are made from 70% renewable resources, replacing 70% of the oil in production, with plant starch. They are excellent for hot foods (heat tolerance up to 120° C), and can be used in the microwave.
They are sturdy, Cost effective and will breakdown in presence of other bioactive materials in a landfill, making them a practical, cost efficient, sustainable alternative.
They have a long shelf life compared to CPLA which have a 6 month shelf life. Finally, this product has no effects on the flavours of the food (fewer indeed, we believe, than the non-renewable alternatives available).
