World Centric compostable 6 inch TPLA set includes a fork made from plant-based plastic, and a napkin made from 100% post-consumer recycled paper. Our eco-friendly disposable forks are great for takeout restaurants and cafes and suitable for food up to 200 deg . This compostable set is designed to reduce waste and provide a safe, non-toxic alternative to plastic cutlery. This fork is BPI certified compostable, dishwasher safe, and can be reused at least 100 times, at which point it can be composted in a commercial compost facility which may not exist in your area. The teardrop-shaped opening in the handle of our cutlery is a trademark of World Centric.
