This blog post examines the relative advantages of CPLA cutlery when compared to plastic, wooden and bamboo cutlery and makes the conclusion that CPLA is more environmentally.

A Point-By-Point Comparison Between CPLA And Wooden & Bamboo Utensils
In examining the benefits of CPLA over wooden and bamboo utensils, we are going to look at four main areas: safety, taste, quality, and environmental value. Let’s get started!

Safety
First and foremost, safety is important. With wooden and bamboo cutlery, you face the risk of getting actual splinters while you are eating.

Just imagine going to eat a bite of your soup or quinoa and all of a sudden experiencing a sharp pain in your mouth followed by a painful splinter removal process! Ouch!

With CPLA cutlery like Ecospace®, you never have to worry about that because CPLA is crystallized polymers from corn starch, it doesn’t have those kinds of long fibers that form splinters. This also makes it much safer for feeding small kids or even babies.

Taste
There is a big problem with the taste of bamboo and wooden cutlery, too. First of all, wood and bamboo absorb the liquids in the food and take on the taste of those liquids. So you might taste marinara while you are eating a salad.

Additionally, the utensils taste like wood. CPLA is 100% tasteless and it doesn’t absorb any flavors while you are eating, so your food tastes perfect every time!

Quality
In terms of quality, Ecospace CPLA cutlery stands head and shoulders above bamboo and wooden cutlery. The knives never get dull like wood or bamboo so they can cut almost any kind of food and stay sharp for a long time.

CPLA also has a smooth texture in your mouth, unlike grainy wood or bamboo. And finally, it’s just more ergonomic. Wooden and bamboo cutlery is usually oversized and awkwardly shaped, making it difficult to actually use.
