Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The 'Cornish Pasty Pod', a popular takeaway kiosk in Truro, wanted to completely remove single-use plastics from their customer-facing packaging to better reflect their local, sustainable ethos.
"We switched to the Fiesta compostable sporks for our side salads and bean pots. Our regulars immediately noticed and loved the change. The sporks are strong, look clean and professional, and it feels great knowing we're not adding to plastic waste. A simple switch that's had a brilliant reception."
Samuel Jones – Owner
The business reported a significant rise in positive customer feedback about their eco-friendly approach, enhancing their community reputation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can these sporks be composted in my garden compost bin?
A: No, they are certified for commercial composting. They need the higher temperatures of an industrial facility to break down properly, so they should go in your food waste bin if your council collects it for composting.
Q: Are they strong enough for hot foods?
A: Yes, they are designed to handle a wide range of hot and cold takeaway foods like pasta, curries, and salads. They are much sturdier than you might expect from paper cutlery.
Q: Can I put these in the recycling bin?
A: No. Once used with food, they are considered contaminated for recycling purposes. Their correct disposal route is a commercial composting waste stream.
Q: What exactly are they made of?
A: They are made from sustainably sourced, strong paper, pressed into a rigid shape. This makes them an excellent alternative to oil-based plastics.
Q: Do they leave a papery taste in the food?
A: No, they are designed to be completely neutral and will not impart any taste or odour to your food, ensuring your dishes taste exactly as you intended.
Q: How long are the sporks?
A: They are 160mm (or 16cm) long, which is a standard, comfortable size for adults and suitable for most takeaway containers.
Q: Are the sporks individually wrapped?
A: No, they come loose in a handy dispenser box, which helps to reduce packaging waste and allows for quick and easy access during service.
Q: Are they safe for children to use?
A: Yes, they are made from food-safe paper and have no sharp edges, making them a perfectly suitable and safe option for children's meals.
