Frequently Asked Questions
Are cornstarch knives compostable?
Yes, our entire cutlery range is one hundred percent completely compostable. They are crafted from plant-based materials and meet rigorous Australian standards for safe, eco-friendly breakdown and disposal.
Are they strong enough to cut food?
Absolutely. Unlike weak plastic, our CPLA cornstarch knives feature a reinforced structure and a sharp serrated edge, easily and effortlessly cutting through thick proteins and dense meals.
Are they heat resistant?
Yes, they are incredibly highly heat-resistant. You can confidently serve them alongside boiling hot dishes, knowing they will never melt, warp, or bend out of shape.
Is CPLA the same as PLA?
Not exactly. CPLA is crystallized PLA (polylactic acid). The crystallization process makes the material significantly stronger and far more heat-resistant, making it absolutely perfect for heavy-duty commercial cutlery.
Are plastic knives banned in Australia?
Yes, single-use plastic knives are banned across most states, including Victoria. Choosing our compostable cutlery ensures your business stays totally compliant with current environmental laws.
