The Problem We All Know
Every year, 40 billion plastic utensils end up in landfills and oceans.
Each one will outlast us by centuries, becoming part of a legacy we never intended to leave. Cutlery is made from plastic because it is cheap and because there have been no alternatives. With technological advances, businesses and individuals are discovering that high performance and environmental responsibility aren’t trade-offs anymore.
World Centric compostable cutlery represents a fundamental shift in what sustainable products can achieve. The distinctive teardrop handle isn’t just thoughtful design, it is engineered for distinguishability as compostable in the waste stream.
What makes Our Cutlery different:
- Superior durability: Talc reinforcement provides strength that rivals traditional plastic
- Heat resistance: Handles hot foods up to 200°F without warping or weakening
- True compostability: Breaks down in commercial facilities within 90-180 days
- Plant-based foundation: Made from renewable resources, not petroleum
We believe sustainability shouldn’t require sacrifice.
Instead, it should enhance what you’re already doing. World Centric cutlery delivers the performance you expect with the environmental integrity your values demand. Switching to compostable cutlery can help a typical restaurant eliminate between 50,000 to 100,000 petroleum plastic utensils from entering the waste stream each year.
Beyond The Product — Purpose Driven Impact
World Centric operates on a simple principle: every purchase should contribute to positive change. Through our giving program, your investment in sustainable cutlery supports environmental education, clean water initiatives, and underserved communities worldwide.
The teardrop design carries meaning:
In many cultures, the teardrop represents both sorrow for what’s been lost and hope for renewal. It’s a fitting symbol for products that acknowledge environmental challenges while actively creating solutions.
A Different Kind of Legacy
The choices we make today become the world we leave tomorrow. We cannot be driven by price alone, but rather the planet we leave behind for future generations. World Centric TPLA cutlery represents more than a product switch. It’s an investment in the right direction.
