Historical Traces of Wooden Spoon

Originally, our ancestors simply used their hands to transport food into their mouths. Later came a cheap and convenient way of doing it when they made spoons by themselves. Perhaps hygiene was a concern in all eras?

It started with spoons carved of shells and animal horns, while a stick would be attached to complete the body. Wooden spoons were introduced from the Anglo-Saxon spon, which translates as “a chip of wood.” From then on, these eco-friendly wood spoons have been present in almost every culture. Young Welsh men would carve intricate lovespoons as a token of love to their sweethearts. Not only it was beautiful, but it was also long-lasting. In France, despite the availability of plastic and metal cutlery, wood has prevailed as the top choice for professional chefs. By using a classic French wooden spoon is to continue the heirloom traditions of their masters.

These traces from the past say a few things! Wooden cutlery is strong, environmentally friendly and has its individual attractiveness. Scroll down to find out the benefits of disposable wooden cutlery.

Eco Friendly Disposable Packaging to Combat Plastic

Enhance the dining experience with disposable wooden spoon and fork.

Plastic cutlery may be low on budget but high on toxic chemicals. Therefore, it creates potential harm to a range of lives. Single-use plastic utensils can take up to 1,000 years to decompose. Moreover, plastic forks and spoons are made from non-renewable resources. Wooden cutlery is made from fast-growing trees.

Wooden cutlery’s main advantage comes after you are done with it. Some PLA spoons and forks in theory can be compostable but it has some catchy points. It has to be under the “right conditions.” This PLA material often would not disintegrate in a backyard compost as it needs the right setting that is available at commercial facilities.

Our disposable wooden spoons and forks are compostable. You will not have the guilt of damaging landfills and soil with non-biodegradable and hazardous materials. Not forgetting the occupants of nature. Wildlife and fish would mistake plastic containers for food and choke to severe injuries. Many NGOs and conservation organisations in Malaysia are striving to ensure the ocean returns to its former glory. Let’s make sure their efforts don’t go to waste. Moreover, our disposable plates and lunch boxes are encouraged by the Consumers Association of Penang.

Malaysia’s Alarming Plastic Pollution Is Another Reason to Opt for Wooden Fork and Spoon

A detailed, 12-page report by WWF has revealed that Malaysia is among the biggest consumers of plastic packaging in Asia. The report states that due to the rapid economic growth, there is a huge increase in the consumption of plastic, particularly packaging consumer goods. Our country is doing pretty poor at the waste disposable rate too.

Disposable wooden spoons and forks are more visually appealing than monotonous plastic cutlery. It has an instant charm that would catch the attention of guests. The natural product, made from abundant, renewable resources, sets a positive impression on diners. The wood disposable spoon is sleek and strong that it might tempt you to reuse it. However do note that wood is porous and absorbent, so it can soak up moisture from food and water. The wooden cutlery is only suitable as disposable dinnerware.

Not forgetting the eco spoon’s hygienic values. In many food catering and medical centres, it is better to use a wooden spoon to reduce the risk of contamination. Furthermore, our fork, spoon and knife are ISO 22000:2018 and HACCP certifed.
