deSter cutlery portfolio: a sustainable choice

Wood (Birch):- What could be more natural than wood? deSter offers cutlery made from FSC-certified birch trees that do not need wax or lamination. If required, a wax finish can be foreseen. Our wooden cutlery range has clear high-quality standards on colour variation, splintering, smooth surface, foreign substance, etc. while the FSC certification assures the lasting protection of the forest as well as people and animals who depend on it.

Bamboo:- Apart from its amazing and eco-friendly ability to renew itself rapidly, bamboo is a perfect, natural material for cutlery production. Although it is not the cheapest solution, its long fibers give it extra strength, resulting in a more premium product and better functionality compared to birch wood. The material used for our production is also FSC-certified.

Paper Board:- Paper cutlery is a new, renewable, lightweight material with sustainability at its core. It is made from compressed board which comes from natural fibers. Paper board is ideal for single use as it is home compostable and can be recycled through existing paper waste streams. The characteristics of paper improve the whole dining experience when compared to using wood or bamboo cutlery because it feels more comfortable. Paper board is a patented technology developed and manufactured by deSter.

Reusable Cutlery:- To eliminate waste completely reusable cutlery offers a great solution. The cutlery is washed and reused and then recycled at the end of its life. Materials for reusable cutlery include either stainless steel or standard/renewable resins that can be recycled in our closed loop system. When considering this solution, it is necessary to keep in mind that the shift from single use cutlery to reusable cutlery may involve some operational changes.

Reliable, well-designed, and user-friendly cutlery truly adds to the creation of an enjoyable dining experience. All our designs are optimized to provide an ultimate sensory feel. From standard to premium, from wood to fiber material, every cutlery has its own design and functionality.
