100% Compostable Spoons - 140 Large Disposable Utensils (6.3 in.) Eco Friendly Durable and Heat Resistant Alternative to Plastic Spoons with Convenient Tray

First, the spoons are sturdy, have no flavor or odor and are exceptionally smooth. We eat hard ice cream with them, no problem. As an added bonus, these are made in the USA!For those that are saying you need to take these to a special facility to have these breakdown vs. your local landfill, I want to make sure you see the comment from the Q & A section on this page from the mfg. I was very satisfied with their response."Based on ASTM D6400 Standards, our certified compostable utensils will break down into nutrient-rich compost in 2 - 4 months provided the process is perform in a composting facility (where it was tested and verified).If the compostable silverware happens to find its way to the landfill, it would still be better option from a biodegradability standpoint to plastic silverware. Since the landfill conditions will vary and where certified compostable products usually haven’t been tested, we can’t estimate how long it would take to compost. Conventional plastic could take ~400 hundred years to finally dissolve leaving behind micro-plastic, while all natural 100% compostable utensils would expect to start to break down in months without leaving behind toxins.In addition, certified 100% compostable products takes 65% less energy to make and produces 68% fewer greenhouse gases than conventional plastics. Thus, it leaves a smaller carbon footprint than plastics during production. It also uses all-natural plant resources which is a better sustainable and renewable option when compared to trees or plastic. In essence, we are starting with a big environmental win before we even consider disposal!"

I love love love these spoons, and completely agree with all the positive reviews on this product. (There was one 1-star review I didn't understand, because EVERYTHING leaves a carbon foot-print, whether it's a metal spoon, plastic spoon, or a compostable spoon. Sometimes metal spoons just aren't practical for the occasion, and if I have to choose between plastic or compostable, compostable wins.)Anyway, more about the spoons. It's been soup weather this past week, so it seemed like the perfect opportunity to put these spoons to the test. The spoons sat in a chowder soup for 45 minutes one night, were put in the dishwasher and sat in a broth-based soup the second night. To my surprise, they didn't wilt at all! No splinters in my mouth, AND they still look brand-new, so I know I'm not only purchasing a compostable product, but one that is high-quality and will be used again and again.

Strong spoons. Nice size. Fine product.

surprisingly great quality, eco friendly

I am a happy customer: Spoons do not shrivel (melt or bend) while stirring my coffee, spoons are amazingly sturdy, clean, smooth survice, disposable, even looks nice as a place setting utensil. I am not going back to the standard plastic spoons, OH! The package: it so cool, spoons packed in a drawer.

I've been buying these for more than a year to keep in stock at the office. Spoons, forks and knives all strong! Less guilt about being disposable.

Love them! Exactly like regular plastic spoons but these ones are a game changer! Compostable and made from plants! Earth friendly!

These spoons are very sturdy, comfortable to hold, and non-plastic.
