You can choose between stainless steel cutlery, plastic cutlery and compostable cutlery.
Stainless steel cutlery is a cost-effective option, which has a simple and strong design. They are dishwasher safe, but you must avoid lemon detergents and avoid soaking. Stainless steel cutlery can be polished for special occasions.
Stainless steel cutlery is reusable and has more advantages:
- Stainless steel allows the cutlery to stay sharp and can be sharpened when necessary.
- This type of cutlery is rust-resistant, as it contains chromium and nickel, which are resistant to rust and stains.
- Stainless steel cutlery has a finish that is more elegant and has a shiny appearance, which makes the items attractive.
- Spoons, knives, and forks require little maintenance and are easy to clean. They can be considered environmentally friendly as they are reusable and often 60% of the stainless steel is recycled.
- They are affordable for small businesses with a pantry or small dining room.
However, some problems sometimes arise when choosing stainless steel cutlery sets. For example, cutlery may disappear from the office, pantry or canteen, as workers may take forks or spoons home by mistake. This may force you to replace some cutlery on a regular basis.
We also offer plastic options. Our disposable cutlery is made from moulded plastic and is supplied in packs of 100. Plastic cutlery also has several advantages:
- Disposable plastic cutlery is convenient to use and requires little maintenance. It is a great alternative if you have to serve many employees or visitors, as plastic forks, knives and spoons are lightweight and easier to handle than stainless steel cutlery.
- You will also save time and energy, as you don't have to wash them after each use. Instead, you can focus on serving the needs of staff or customers.
- Disposable plastic cutlery is more hygienic, as workers do not have to share utensils. This is of utmost importance today to prevent the spread of viruses and diseases. Hospitals and care facilities can benefit from the use of this alternative.
- Plastic cutlery is safer and less likely to cause accidents. They can be used without problems around children.
- They are a cheaper alternative to stainless steel cutlery. Therefore, if you have a catering business, plastic cutlery is more cost-effective.
Plastic cutlery can be sometimes difficult to recycle. That is why we also offer a quality selection of Compostable Cutlery. This alternative is sustainable, and eco-friendly, and has been approved under our Project Kaiyo™, an initiative that raises awareness and encourages sustainability.
By choosing compostable cutlery, you will contribute towards the reduction of plastic consumption.
Our compostable cutlery is available in packs of 50 and is strong and sturdy. This alternative is made using PLA, which is a sustainable and renewable plant-based material.
