Question 1

Ecovita's utensils are made from All Natural, Non-GMO Corn Plant and converted in a FDA certified facility into high heat resistant, compostable Crystalized Polylactic Acid or CPLA for short. Thank you for interest in our eco-friendly products!

Thank you for visiting our website to learn more about our products!  The raw material used to make our BPI Certified eco-friendly utensils are ethically grown and harvested here in the USA.  The compostable utensils are then manufactured in FDA certified facility located in China. They are a long standing manufacturer of eco-friendly and compostable products distributed in North America, Europe and other countries around the world.  Our company is located in sunny San Diego, CA where we happily support American jobs.  We hope this add more clarity to how we source our compostable forks, spoons and knives. Thank you again for your interest in our compostable cutlery!

Question 3

Why don't you make utensils that are compostable in a home compost?

Accepted Answer

Great question! At the moment, home compost utensils do not offer similar durability, sturdiness and high heat tolerance comparable to plastic silverware.  In order to maintain a balance between ASTM Standards and product performance, we designed disposable utensils that were certified compostable in industrial facilities.

Other factors to consider:  Certified 100% compostable cutlery (made of CPLA) takes 65% less energy to make and produces 68% fewer greenhouse gases than conventional plastics. Thus, it leaves a smaller carbon footprint than plastics during production.  It also uses all-natural, non-GMO corn (plant resources sourced here in the USA) which is a better sustainable and renewable option when compared to trees or plastic.  In essence, we are starting with a big environmental win before we even consider disposal!
