Environmental awareness is growing in the global restaurant industry. Growing consumer awareness of environmental issues is prompting restaurants around the world to implement sustainable practices, responding to global demand. For example, they strictly monitor the sustainability of ingredient sourcing and the presentation of their dishes (such as the use of eco-friendly packaging) to minimize their environmental impact.
The wooden cutlery, forks, and spoons, which can only be used once, are made from 100% biodegradable and fast-growing birch wood and are FSC certified. They are 100% biodegradable and compostable. Their biodegradability and compostability significantly reduce waste accumulation and plastic pollution compared to traditional plastic containers.
Global bans and regulations on the use of plastic are also pushing restaurants to look for more environmentally friendly solutions. For example:
The European Union enacted a plastic restriction directive in 2019, requiring member states to ban the use of single-use plastic products with alternatives available by June 2021.
The United States will implement a ban on plastic bags from March 1, 2020.
China's plastic restriction mandate calls for a 30% reduction in the consumption of non-biodegradable and single-use plastic containers in the food delivery sector in cities at or above the prefecture level by 2025.
Disposable wooden cutlery often has a simple look that blends well with modern, eco-friendly designs. With the wood-based texture and design, consumers can enjoy the taste of their food while creating a unique, warm, and natural atmosphere for each meal. The eco-friendly wooden disposable cutlery in this high-end restaurant demonstrates the brand's commitment to environmental care, social responsibility, and ultimately enhances its image and builds customer loyalty.
When dining out, more and more customers are choosing restaurants that take the environment seriously. This choice not only fulfills their desire to live a green lifestyle but also gives them a sense of responsibility and brand value while dining. For customers, choosing these restaurants not only protects the environment but also improves their quality of life.
Many people think that eco-friendly cutlery is expensive, but this is not true. Wooden cutlery, which can only be used once, is generally inexpensive, sturdy, lightweight, and easy to use, making it suitable for a variety of settings, from casual dining to fine dining. Here are some of the main advantages of wooden cutlery:
1. Affordable: Two to three times cheaper than PLA and paper pulp products.
2. More durable: More durable than PLA and less prone to breakage.
3. Sharp: Sharper than paper products, better for cutting harder foods.
4. High temperature resistance: Resists deformation even at 70°C.
As laws and regulations to curb single-use plastics tighten in many parts of the world, it is important for restaurants and catering businesses to make this transition early. Early adoption of sustainable solutions, such as disposable wooden forks and spoons, not only avoids many potential operational constraints due to future legislative changes but also provides a head start in the industry and establishes a responsible image as a company.
