Biodegradable Fork: Sustainability and Functionality

Biodegradable forks

Biodegradable disposable forks are made from plant-based materials such as CPLA (crystallised polylactic acid), PLA, or wood.

Being compostable, they can decompose under suitable conditions without leaving harmful residues, making them an environmentally friendly option.

Main features of biodegradable forks

Eco-friendly: Made from renewable and biodegradable resources, free from petroleum-based plastics.
Heat-resistant: CPLA models withstand up to 85°C, making them ideal for hot dishes.
Versatile: Suitable for both hot and cold meals, from salads to meats.
Safe and comfortable: Smooth finishes, with no splinters or sharp edges.

This type of fork is suitable for both professional and personal use, making it an ideal alternative for celebrations, outdoor meals, fast food businesses, or any setting that requires practicality without compromising sustainable values.

How to choose the ideal biodegradable fork?

Biodegradable disposable forks are an eco-friendly alternative that doesn’t compromise service quality.

Being sturdy, practical, and available in various formats, they are a solution tailored to the current needs of the HORECA sector.

However, to make an effective purchase, it's important to consider:

Type of food: For hot meals, CPLA forks are ideal; for cold meals, wood or PLA are also suitable.
Service style: CPLA has a more modern look; wood gives a more artisanal impression.
Type of event or business: Depending on whether it's for regular use in hospitality or a one-off event, you can choose between large packs or individual sets.
Visual impact: Reinforce your eco-friendly image, even with custom branding.
