Greenwood NaturaFold-158S Disposable Paper Spoon - Eco-Friendly Froyo Ice Cream Spoons

Material & Environmental Impact

Our paper spoons are made from responsibly sourced materials, aligning with global sustainability goals. The primary material is often derived from bagasse (sugarcane fiber) or other plant-based pulps, which are by-products of the agriculture industry, giving them a second life . These materials are:

• Biodegradable & Compostable: Under industrial composting conditions, these spoons can break down within 90 days, significantly reducing landfill waste compared to traditional plastics .
• FSC Certified: Greenwood holds Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification, ensuring that the paper products come from responsibly managed forests that provide environmental, social, and economic benefits .
• Reduced Carbon Footprint: Plant-based materials like sugarcane bagasse have a much lower carbon footprint than petroleum-based plastics, with some studies showing up to 97% lower emissions .

Manufacturing & Quality Assurance

Greenwood (Dalian) Industrial Co., Ltd. operates state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities with a full-chain production system . The company ensures high quality through:

• International Certifications: Adherence to BRC (Global Standard for Food Safety), BSCI (Social Responsibility), and LFGB (EU Food Contact Material Safety) standards .
• Advanced Technology: Utilization of modern production techniques to create sturdy, leak-resistant spoons that can handle semi-solids like yogurt and ice cream without compromising structural integrity .
• Large-Scale Production Capacity: With an annual production capacity of up to 6 billion pieces, Greenwood can reliably meet the demands of large-volume orders .

Best Practices for Use

• For Semi-Solids: The NaturaFold-158S is specifically designed for foods like frozen yogurt, pudding, and ice cream. Its shape allows for easy scooping.
• Avoid Prolonged Soaking: While sturdy, like all paper products, prolonged contact with liquids may cause softening. It is best used for foods that are consumed quickly.
• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the spoon's integrity and hygiene.

Disposal & Composting

To maximize the environmental benefits:

• Industrial Composting: For best results, dispose of the spoon in an industrial composting facility where it will biodegrade efficiently .
• Home Composting: These spoons may also break down in a well-maintained home compost pile, though the process may take longer.
• Recycling: Check with local recycling facilities, as some may accept paper-based food service products if they are clean .
