Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Do wooden and bamboo cutlery affect the taste of food?
No. Birchwood and bamboo cutlery undergo thorough drying and mechanical polishing processes. Their surface is smooth and completely neutral to the taste and aroma of served dishes.
What is the difference between bamboo and wooden cutlery?
Bamboo features a denser fiber structure than birchwood, making bamboo cutlery even harder and more resistant to absorbing grease and moisture. Both options withstand high temperatures up to 100°C exceptionally well.
Which dishes are paper cutlery best suited for?
Compressed paper cutlery works best for snacks, desserts, salads, and fast-food dishes. Thanks to its multi-layer cellulose structure, it maintains sufficient rigidity when coming into contact with food temperatures up to 70°C.
Is the cutlery in this category compliant with the EU Single-Use Plastics (SUP) Directive?
Yes, the entire range of wooden, bamboo, and paper cutlery is 100% compliant with SUP Directive regulations. Their use and distribution in the food service sector are not subject to the restrictions imposed on plastic products.
