Operational Excellence Rooted in Quality and Responsibility

World Centric operations are grounded in quality, safety, and continuous innovation. Our manufacturing partners follow ISO 9001 and Food Safety for Packaging standards, with rigorous controls including automated and manual processes, regular inspections, and HACCP protocols. We work closely with suppliers to ensure our products meet the highest standards.

To maintain reliability, we manage a consistent supply chain with ample safety stock in our global distribution network. This allows us to avoid disruptions and stay responsive to customer needs. We’re also committed to innovation—introducing sustainable materials like FSC-certified paperboard and bamboo fiber, as well as tested solutions like fiber hot cups and our TPLA reusables line. Our domestic flexographic printing capability and inventory of blank cups enable quick-turn testing and inventory fulfillment.

Quality Assurance & Product Performance

World Centric’s dedicated QA and QC teams implement comprehensive testing protocols that ensure our compostable products perform reliably across diverse applications and environments. Our rigorous approach goes beyond standard compliance, with testing procedures specifically designed to validate performance in real-world scenarios that our customers encounter daily.

Our manufacturing facilities operate under ISO9001 and Food Safety for Packaging standards, supported by HACCP protocols and regular inspection schedules. This systematic quality framework, combined with both automated and manual testing processes, ensures every product meets our exacting standards before reaching customers. Our QA team’s deep expertise in compostable materials allows us to continuously validate that our products maintain structural integrity, barrier properties, and safety standards across varying temperatures, moisture levels, and usage conditions that define successful foodware packaging performance.

Supply Chain Excellence

World Centric’s supply chain advantage stems from over two decades of proven experience serving major national brands. Our established network of trusted manufacturing partners, combined with strategic safety stock maintained across our distribution centers, ensures uninterrupted product availability even during market volatility. This mature supply chain infrastructure allows us to respond rapidly to customer needs while maintaining cost efficiency.

Our extensive sourcing capabilities have positioned us as industry pioneers in compostable foodware innovation. Over twenty years of deep market relationships and global supplier networks enable us to identify and bring cutting-edge compostable products to market first. Our sourcing team’s expertise spans emerging materials, manufacturing technologies, and regulatory landscapes, allowing us to continuously expand our product portfolio with breakthrough solutions like FSC certified paperboard, bamboo alternatives, and TPLA reusables. This first-to-market advantage stems from our ability to evaluate new technologies early, establish production partnerships quickly, and scale innovative products efficiently—keeping our clients ahead of both consumer demand and regulatory requirements.

Ethical and Safe Manufacturing Practices

We conduct third-party audits to ensure fair working conditions in our partner factories, using the Fair Labor Association Code of Conduct. These audits promote ethical treatment of workers, fair wages, and safe workplaces. Our food safety practices align with Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) guidelines, with certifications such as BRC-GS, FSSC 22000, and SQF.

We also conduct extensive product testing for metals, allergens, pesticides, GMOs, compostability, and FDA compliance.
