Vegware debuts low carbon cutlery
02/10/2015 07:24:01
Eco packaging firm Vegware has unveiled its new black cutlery made from 100% recycled plant-based materials.
The RCPLA material withstands heat up to 85ºC, and 90% less embodied carbon than plastic and 51% less than the PLA used in most compostable cutlery. It is certified compostable, meaning it can biodegrade in under 12 weeks.
Founder and managing director, Joe Frankel, said: “After two years’ R&D, last year we were the first to launch RCPLA cutlery made from this innovative recycled material.
People love its glossy look and eco credentials, but we wanted to push things further and prove that eco packaging can respond to style trends. We aren’t aware of any other certified compostable black cutlery on the market, so we knew it would be popular. Demand has been amazing and initial batches are selling out.”
