World centric compostable forks are biodegradable, and will take 120+ days to compost in a commercial composting facility. Home composting is not recommended and it may take 1-2 years to compost in a home composting system. Most current utensils on the market made from plant starch are not compostable since current technology does not allow for manufacturing plant starch utensils without adding some plastic fillers. Since these plant starch utensils do not meet compostability standards they are normally priced cheaper. Our utensils are made from tpla (70% non-gmo pla and 30% talc.) they are also heat resistant up to 200 degrees f, and are certified under astm-6400 standards and now have bpi certification.
