Perfect for enjoying meals on the go or simply reducing cleanup time after an event, CiboWares has all the disposable cutlery and utensils to suit any restaurant or foodservice location. From eco-friendly to plastic, individually wrapped or packed in bulk, we’ve got cutlery options that are sure to make the cut.

Eco-Friendly Cutlery

Go green with CiboWares’ selection of eco-friendly cutlery! Made from renewable and sustainable materials, many of these products are also compostable to help reduce our impact on the environment.

Things to Consider

• UV Treated: UV treatment helps eliminate the risk of microbial or bacterial growth in wooden cutlery.

• Renewable Resources: Made from materials that are naturally replaced or regrown by the environment over time.

• PBAT Film: Polybutylene adipate-co-terephthalate which is an alternative polymer. Compostable PBAT film is used to wrap CPLA cutlery and cutlery kits.

• ASTM D6400 Compliant: ASTM International (formerly known as the American Society for Testing and Materials). ASTM D6400 refers to the Standard Specification for Labeling of Plastics Designed to be Aerobically Composted in Municipal or Industrial Facilities.

• FDA Approved: Food and Drug Administration. All of our products are FDA accepted/safe for food contact.

Compostable Cutlery

CiboWares’ selection of compostable cutlery is made from CPLA, or crystallized polylactic acid. CPLA is a fully compostable corn starch based resin or corn-based plastic material and is designed to stand up to hotter temperatures compared to PLA. Corn is annually renewable, making these products completely eco-friendly and non-toxic. They are petroleum-free and ASTM D6400 compliant for compostability. They are a great choice when serving up hot or cold food items.
Note: CPLA Cutlery breaks down within 60 days in an industrial composting facility. A compostable PBAT film is used for wrapped CPLA cutlery. Heat Resistance: 90° C (194° F).

Wood

Wood cutlery is made from all-natural birch wood and offers great resistance to cracking or splintering. They can be stored in high heat locations and contain no coatings, bleaches, or dyes. Wooden cutlery is also UV treated and can be thrown out with food waste. Please check your local laws and regulations surrounding waste disposal.

Bamboo

Bamboo is a renewable resource and can be used to create a wide range of beautiful products. Our selection of bamboo products is made from the sheath of the bamboo plant. The sheath is the outer layer of the plant that falls off naturally once the plant has reached a certain point of maturity. The sheaths are then collected, cleaned, boiled, laminated, and pressed and bonded into the shape of the product. This whole process is completed without the use of harmful chemicals, dyes, or toxins. Bamboo cutlery is splinter-free and designed to prevent cracking or breaking during use.

Plant-Based Cutlery

Plant-based cutlery is made from plant starch material resin which is produced from corn, potato, or wheat starch. PSM cutlery is not biodegradable or compostable but is a renewable resource as plant products can be grown again and again to make more quality cutlery. They are FDA approved for food contact and contain some polypropylene material to help give our products extra durability.

Plastic Cutlery

A great disposable option, plastic cutlery helps reduce clean up time after events and can easily be thrown away after use. We have a varied selection of polypropylene and polystyrene options available. Our polystyrene and polypropylene cutlery can withstand temperatures up to 80°C or 176°F.
Note: Wrapped plastic cutlery is wrapped in polypropylene.

Things to Consider

• Polypropylene: Polypropylene cutlery offers excellent flexibility and unless you choose a heavier weight, it is better suited for lighter dishes. They also have a shinier surface to give them a sleek look. Available in medium, medium-heavy/mid-heavy, and heavy weight styles.

• Polystyrene: Polystyrene is denser than polypropylene and can be used to create sharp edges. While it is a strong material, it is not as flexible as polypropylene and can sometimes break under extreme pressure. Available in medium-heavy and heavy weight styles.

• Medium Weight Cutlery: Designed to serve as an economical option that is great for enjoying light meals.

• Medium Plus Weight Cutlery: These are more dense than medium weight, without the full strength of heavy weight cutlery. A good option for when medium just won’t cut it.

• Medium-Heavy Weight Cutlery: If you don’t need something quite as strong as heavy weight cutlery but medium won’t do, their shatter and break-resistant design might be just the thing.

• Heavy Weight Cutlery: Useful for serving heavier dishes. Perfect for when you need cutlery you can count on.

• FDA Approved: Food and Drug Administration. All of our products are FDA accepted/safe for food contact.

Plastic Cutlery Kits

Cutlery kits allow customers to take all the supplies they need to enjoy a meal on the go. From 2 piece kits to 6 piece kits, there are a wide variety of options available to suit any foodservice location. All cutlery kits are individually wrapped to ensure they stay sanitary prior to use, and can easily be placed in takeout packaging.
