CPLA cutlery is specifically engineered to handle high-heat environments, making it a standout option among eco-friendly disposables. Unlike standard PLA products which deform at lower temperatures, CPLA undergoes a crystallization process that enhances its structural integrity and thermal resistance.
Typically, CPLA cutlery can withstand temperatures up to 90°C (194°F), allowing it to be used safely with hot entrees, soups, and beverages. This performance puts it on par with traditional plastic utensils in terms of functionality, while still offering the benefits of compostability.
Its resilience under heat makes CPLA particularly valuable in takeout, catering, and institutional foodservice settings where both sustainability and practicality are essential.
