Compostable Tableware FAQs
What materials are used in Good Start Packaging’s compostable tableware?
Good Start Packaging’s eco-friendly tableware is crafted from sustainable, compostable materials such as sugarcane fiber (bagasse), PLA (cornstarch-based bioplastic), and bamboo fiber, all renewable alternatives to traditional plastics. These materials ensure high performance while aligning with environmental goals.
Is this sustainable tableware safe for hot and cold foods?
Absolutely. Compostable materials like bagasse and bamboo are heat-resistant and leak-resistant, making them suitable for both hot and cold dishes. Many of these products are also microwave-safe; refer to the product details for usage and temperature guidance.
How long does compostable tableware take to compost?
Decomposition time varies based on the material and composting environment. Sugarcane (bagasse) typically breaks down within 90 days in commercial composting facilities, while bamboo tableware may take a bit longer. Home composting would likely extend these timelines.
How should I properly dispose of compostable tableware?
For effective composting, check product labels for compostability certifications (e.g., BPI, ASTM, OK Compost). Use industrial composting facilities when available; otherwise, verify that materials are home-compostable. Clearly label disposal bins and educate users for correct sorting.
Can I buy sustainable tableware in bulk or with custom branding?
Yes, bulk ordering is common, especially for event planning, food service, and catering clients. We offer bulk discounts on most products in addition to Free Shipping on orders $50+*. For customization opportunities, larger order minimums will apply. Shop our custom printing options.
What certifications should I look for to ensure environmental credibility?
Look for compostability certifications like BPI, NSF, CMA, ASTM D6400/D6868, or OK Compost labels. Certifications from USDA Biobased or FSC also indicate responsible material sourcing.
