As of early this October, the United Kingdom officially banned single-use plastic cutlery in an effort to combat the environmental crisis facing our planet. At Cooksmill, we don’t see this as an endpoint but rather as a launchpad for further innovation and responsible action. Following the discontinuation of our single-use plastic cutlery, we offer a range of more sustainable, equally high-quality options.

A Deeper Dive into Our Sustainable Product Range

Timeless and Durable: Clear Heavy Duty Reusable Plastic Cutlery

Our Clear Heavy Duty Reusable Plastic Cutlery is more than just a utility; it's a statement in sustainable elegance. Crafted from premium-grade, heavy-duty plastic, these knives, forks, and spoons are designed to withstand the rigours of daily use. Unlike disposable plastic cutlery that cracks or bends easily, these are built to last, thus significantly reducing waste.

The design elegantly mimics the look of fine crystal, offering a sophisticated dining experience that aligns with high-quality service standards. This cutlery can be easily washed and reused to reduce the amount of plastic waste, making it ideal for use at home, in restaurants, and in the hospitality industry. 

The Organic Touch: Disposable Wooden Cutlery

Our Disposable Wooden Cutlery is for those who find beauty in simplicity. Carved from sustainably harvested wood, these pieces offer an authentic, earthy elegance that elevates any dining experience. This range includes knives, forks, spoons and even ice cream spoons.

The texture of the wood is smooth to the touch, yet the utensils are robust enough to tackle a wide range of food types, from crunchy salads to meat dishes. When it comes to disposal, you can rest easy knowing that these items are biodegradable, making them the perfect eco-friendly cutlery option.

The Cutting Edge: Natural Cornstarch Cutlery

This Natural Cornstarch Cutlery is a sustainable wonder that rivals traditional plastic in strength and utility. Produced from renewable cornstarch, these utensils can handle varying temperatures and food types with ease.

These knives, and, forks are fully compostable, leaving behind no toxic residues as they decompose. Their neutral and clean design also makes them versatile enough for any dining occasion, be it a fast-food outlet or an upscale restaurant.

Beyond Cutlery: Compostable Bagasse Bowls, Plates, and Trays

Why stop at cutlery when you can make your entire serving collection eco-friendly? Our Compostable Bagasse Bowls, Plates, and Trays are made from the fibrous remains of sugarcane stalks. Not only are they fully compostable, but they are also incredibly sturdy and suitable for both hot and cold foods. The naturally light, creamy hue of bagasse also offers a neutral backdrop that enhances the visual appeal of your culinary creations.

A Range of Wooden Accessories: Chip Forks, Chopsticks, and Toothpicks

For those finer details that complete a dining experience, we offer Wooden Chip Forks, Chopsticks, and Toothpicks, each thoughtfully wrapped in eco-friendly paper. Our chip forks offer a nostalgic yet refined way to enjoy classic dishes like fish and chips, while the chopsticks bring an authentic touch to Asian cuisine. As for our toothpicks, their sturdy wooden construction ensures they are as functional as they are eco-conscious.

These chopsticks and toothpicks are individually wrapped in paper, maintaining hygiene standards without compromising our planet’s well-being. With these additions, we ensure that even the smallest elements of your service are in harmony with a greener future.
