Biodegradable Spoons

Nowadays, a compostable spoon is much more than just a utensil: it is a demonstration of commitment to sustainability. More and more restaurants, ice cream parlours, food trucks, and catering companies are opting for biodegradable spoons as the most practical and efficient way to reduce waste and care for the environment.

Compostable spoons are made from natural materials such as corn starch (PLA), CPLA (a heat-resistant version of PLA), or various types of wood.

They are designed to offer the same functionality as a traditional disposable plastic spoon, but with a significantly lower environmental impact. Their different design and finish options make them the ideal alternative for any type of event, from the most casual to the most elegant.

At Monouso, we offer a wide range of biodegradable spoons so you can combine convenience, hygiene, and ecological commitment in your business.

Compostable Spoon: Practical and Eco-Friendly

Biodegradable Spoons

Biodegradable spoons naturally break down under composting conditions, leaving no harmful residues.

This makes them a perfect alternative for those looking to reduce their ecological footprint without compromising on quality service.

Features of Compostable Spoons

  • Sustainable materials: Such as CPLA, PLA or natural wood – all plant-based and renewable.
  • Heat resistance: CPLA spoons can withstand up to 85–90 °C, making them ideal for soups, coffee, and hot dishes.
  • Suitable for all types of food: Versatile and hygienic, perfect for desserts, creams, yoghurts, sauces, or purées.
  • Safe and comfortable finish: Smooth edges with no splinters, available in various formats from individual units to complete utensil sets.

This type of cutlery is increasingly used by businesses aiming to offer a convenient and efficient service.

Biodegradable Spoons for Restaurants and Events

Whether you're organising an event or managing a takeaway or self-service venue, biodegradable spoons for restaurants and events enable you to work efficiently.

What Benefits Do They Offer for Professionals?

  • Time-saving on cleaning: As single-use items, they simplify tasks at events, catering, or takeaway services.

How to Choose the Right Compostable Spoon?

Choosing the right compostable spoon helps you save costs, improve service, and adapt to your business’s real needs.

Here are some key aspects to consider:

  • Type of food: If serving hot meals, opt for CPLA; for desserts or cold dishes, PLA or wood works perfectly.
  • Business or event style: Wood offers a more natural feel; CPLA is neutral and modern.
  • Purchase format: Individual, in sets or with hygienic wrapping, depending on the service you provide.
  • Space and logistics: Packs that suit your daily workload and offer easy storage solutions.
