The environmental impact of adding compostable utensils to your trash (and eventually a landfill) as opposed to composting them is complicated. When deposited in a landfill, compostable utensils will break down faster than plastic utensils only if there’s oxygen available (a rare occurrence). In landfills where there’s little to no oxygen available, compostable utensils can take hundreds of years to break down.

However, some still argue that there are benefits to using utensils made from renewable resources instead of petroleum, which is often used to make plastic. When we were researching disposable cups, we spoke with an expert who summarized the benefits of compostable cups this way: “It’s only good for the environment if it’s going into a composting system.”
Before you consider buying disposable utensils, we recommend doing a bit of quick research about composting systems available in your area first. If you have access to a commercial composting facility, compostable utensils are a great choice.

Our favorite set is Ecovita 100% Compostable Forks Spoons Knives Cutlery Combo 380 Set ($0.14 per utensil). If you don’t have access to commercial composting, check to see if your town or city recycles plastic utensils. Our top plastic utensil set is The Diamond Entertaining 96 Combo ($0.18 per utensil).
I have tried other Compostable forks and they break easily, these do not. They are sturdy, look nice and are compostable which is the best thing about them! I would recommend them.
