🍴 Eco-Friendly Cutlery

Eco-Friendly Compostable Cutlery for BC Food Businesses

True Earth Packaging supplies birchwood, cornstarch, and bamboo compostable cutlery to restaurants, cafés, food trucks, and caterers across BC. 11 SKUs covering kits and individual pieces — bylaw-compliant, wholesale-priced, delivered to the Lower Mainland and beyond.

Compliant, Practical, and Priced for Volume

Metro Vancouver's Single-Use Item Bylaw restricts conventional plastic cutlery. Compostable alternatives aren't just a regulatory requirement — they're what your customers increasingly expect. Our cutlery is certified compostable, performs well with hot and cold food, and is priced to make sense at the volumes a busy food business actually uses.

🌿

Bylaw Compliant

All cutlery meets Metro Vancouver Single-Use Item Bylaw requirements. Certified compostable — not just "biodegradable" — so you're covered for any compliance inspection.

💪

Actually Sturdy

Birchwood and cornstarch cutlery that doesn't snap under a heavier dish. Holds up with hot soups, dense rice bowls, and protein-heavy takeout — no customer complaints about broken forks.

📦

Kits or Individual Pieces

Kits save time at packing stations; individual pieces let you match exactly what each order needs. We carry both so you can order the format that fits your workflow.

💲

Wholesale Pricing

Per-piece cost that makes sense for high-volume operations. Cases of 200–1,000 pieces depending on SKU. No minimum order requirement — order what you need, when you need it.

Compostable Cutlery — Common Questions

Is birchwood or cornstarch cutlery better for hot food?

Birchwood handles heat slightly better — it stays firm up to around 80°C, which covers most takeout foods. Cornstarch (CPLA) cutlery also works with warm dishes but can soften slightly if left in very hot soups for extended periods. For hot noodle or soup orders, birchwood is the safer choice.

Does compostable cutlery meet the Metro Vancouver Single-Use Item Bylaw?

Yes. The bylaw restricts conventional plastic cutlery. Certified compostable cutlery — which is what we carry — is an accepted alternative. If you're in a Metro Vancouver municipality, our cutlery will keep you compliant.

Can I order individual pieces instead of kits?

Yes. We carry individual forks, knives, spoons, and teaspoons in both birchwood and cornstarch. Cases of 1,000 pieces. Some businesses prefer kits for speed at the packing station; others prefer individual pieces so they can include only what each order needs.

What's the minimum order for cutlery?

There's no minimum order. You can order one case or ten — whatever your current stock level calls for. Most customers order cutlery alongside containers and bags in a single order to consolidate delivery. Contact us for pricing and to place an order.
