Cutlery

A variety of compostable and disposable Vegware cutlery for everyday use. Our "plastic" cutlery is made from a recycled plant-based PLA which are super low carbon. Sturdy and practical, and by using a waste material, they are truly an eco and economic product.
Founded in 2006 by Joe Frankel, Edinburgh-based company Vegware is the UKs first and only compostable food packaging company. You can't recycle plastic with food on it, and you can't compost food mixed with disposable plastic waste. So Vegware makes disposable plates, cups and cutlery that can be mixed in with food waste and composts naturally. So now in your cafe or at your event you can provide your customers with just one bin into which all the waste you generate can be placed and composted. The production of plastic requires the extraction of oil and all the war and environmental destruction that brings. Oil creates huge amounts of carbon. With Vegware you can join the thousands of companies that are refusing plastic disposables and reducing the UKs carbon footprint by hundreds of tonnes. Vegware products are compostable which is much better than biodegradable. Biodegradable materials break down naturally over time, but 'compostable' means it all happens much quicker - between 8 and 12 weeks in the right conditions. Not only does composting your disposables save the planet - but its saves money too. With landfill charges going up every year with Vegware you can access the Food Waste Network who will match you up with a food waste recycler.
