Corn Starch Tasting Spoons (3 Inches)
100% Biodegradable, 100% Compostable!
Description
These compostable utensils are made from 100% non-GMO corn starch PLA resin. Heat resistant to 120 degrees Fahrenheit. These biodegradable utensils will completely compost in a commercial composting facility within 90-180 days. Home composting is not advised for this compostable cutlery, as they do require a higher heat to break down, which may not occur in most home composting systems.
Please note, that there is a difference between
compostability and biodegradability as noted on our main
bioplastics page.
Compostability in addition to biodegradation mandates no eco toxicity and more than 90% disintegration into pieces less than
2mm within 180 days, according to the ASTM definition of
compostability.
Q: What is PLA?
A: Polylactic acid or polylactide (PLA) is a biodegradable, thermoplastic, aliphatic polyester derived from renewable resources, such as corn starch (in the U.S.) or sugarcanes (rest of world). Although PLA has been known for more than a century, it has only been of commercial interest in recent years, in light of its biodegradability.
