What is PLA

A bioplastic known as PLA, or polylactic acid, is created from renewable materials like sugarcane or maize starch. Although it can be composted, it is slow to biodegrade and cannot be mixed with other plastics for recycling.

Our wood and bamboo cutlery is not only more environmentally friendly than PLA, but it is also more practical and long-lasting. Our items may be used for a variety of foods, including both hot and cold dishes, and are strong and durable enough.

What is wood

Ancheng is better for the environment and lasts longer than non-renewable materials like plastic because it is made from trees that grow quickly. Wood is a strong and durable material that breaks down naturally and can be used as disposable cutlery. It is a flexible material for disposable cutlery because it can be shaped into many different types of cutlery.

Product process

First, the machine steams the wood at a high temperature to increase its hardness, and then the wood is chopped and pressed with a cutting machine. The tableware is then dried and polished to make sure it is in perfect shape when it gets to the customer.

What is Bamboo

The one-inch-per-week growth rate of bamboo is more favorable to environmental conservation. Bamboo is a renewable resource, just like wood, which makes it a more eco-friendly and long-lasting material than things like plastic.
