What is the Sulapac® material made of?
Wood chips from industrial side streams and responsibly sourced plant-based binders. Sulapac® is a bio-based, patented, award-winning material innovation from Finland.
Are Sulapac® cutlery and straws compostable?
Yes, they are industrially compostable (EN 13432). Always check your local waste instructions for where to dispose of them, as these vary by region.

They are strong, shatterproof and don’t go soggy. Use time is up to 24 hours with food at 40 °C; with acidic and oily food up to 2 hours, up to 70 °C.
Are they safe for food contact?
