Sustainable Biodegradable Plastic & Wooden Cutlery Sets In Singapore

Whether you are offering quick takeaways from your restaurant, operating from a food truck at a festival, or an individual planning for a picnic, when it comes to food on the go, disposable cutleries are the way to go to not only enjoy the food but also observe hygiene and practicality.

However, the thing about conventional disposable cutlery is that they are usually made from one-time-use plastics that are manufactured using finite fossil-fuel resources. With the increasing concerns about plastic waste and its detrimental effects on the environment, we believe in providing eco-friendly alternatives that do not compromise quality.

What is biodegradable cutlery?

The terms ‘biodegradable’ and ‘compostable’ are often used interchangeably. However, there is a distinct difference between the two. Biodegradable cutlery is made using materials that break down naturally by microorganisms into organic substances, such as water, biomass, and natural gases, that are then reabsorbed by the environment.

Compostable cutlery, on the other hand, is usually made using materials that will break down into completely pure and healthy soil in a compost pile or a commercial compost facility. They are usually made of plant-based materials, such as bamboo, sugarcane, and wood.

SKP’s biodegradable wooden cutlery set is designed to break down through natural biological processes, which can vary depending on the material and the environment in which they are placed.

How long does it take for biodegradable cutlery to decompose?

There are two types of biodegradable cutlery SKP offers:

• Biodegradable plastic: SKP’s range of biodegradable plastic products, also known as EcoVue, is made using an innovative method called BioTransformation, which involves combining a biodegradable additive with polypropylene, allowing the utensils to be 100% biodegradable within 1 to 5 years.

• Wooden Cutlery: Our wooden cutlery set, which includes a wooden knife, spoon, stirrer, fork, and chopstick, is not only sustainable but also extremely durable.

How long does it take for biodegradable cutlery to decompose?

Depending on the type of material used, the decomposition time can vary anywhere from a couple of weeks to even a couple of years to break down completely.

Why use biodegradable utensils?

Single-use plastic cutlery is not recyclable! As a result, many of them are being thrown away after a short period of use, where they will eventually end up in landfills and, more often than not, our waterways. Studies have shown that humans, till today, are generating more than 350 million metric tons of plastic waste each year, with the numbers projected to triple by 2060.

SKP’s biodegradable plastic and wooden cutlery is one of the most environmentally friendly in Singapore. Not only are the final products an ideal alternative to conventional plastic counterparts, but their manufacturing process is also environmentally friendly – solar-powered manufacturing plants. Whether you are looking for biodegradable plastic or wooden spoons, knives, stirrers, forks, and chopsticks, they are still strong enough to handle dense and heavy foods. You can rest assured that you are selecting convenience without having to harm the environment.
