According to the EPA, more than 26 million tons of petroleum-based plastic end up in U.S. landfills every year. As human activity pushes the limits of our planet’s capacity, it’s clear: convenience shouldn’t cost the world. Together, we can choose better, sustainable ways forward — for a better world.

25% of profits support people and the planet
Our cups compost completely in 180 days
Made from plants that capture carbon, not petroleum that pollutes. Designed to disappear, not clog landfills. Our certified compostable packaging helps foodservice operators meet regulations, reduce waste, and serve sustainably without sacrificing quality or convenience.
At World Centric, we don’t do business as usual. Since 2004, we’ve stayed true to a simple idea: our daily choices shape the world. What began as a nonprofit screening documentaries grew into a mission-driven company tackling single-use waste with compostable products that put people and the planet first.
The climate is in crisis. Glaciers are vanishing. Oceans are acidifying. Forests are being bulldozed, and the people least responsible suffer the most. That’s why we make packaging from plants, not oil. And why we give 25% of profits to grassroots groups fighting climate and social injustice. Because change isn’t a tagline, it’s action.
We innovate with purpose, crafting every product with care for people, the planet, and future generations. From renewable materials to responsible sourcing, we rethink every detail to reduce harm, cut plastic, and leave no trace. Every choice, from the fibers we use to production methods, reflects our commitment to sustainability, durability, and circular solutions.
