Celebration launches disposable paper cutlery retail packs

Celebration launches disposable paper cutlery retail packs

by | Apr 26, 2021 | Enviroware, News

Celebration Packaging has launched its proven disposable and fully recyclable paper cutlery range in convenient retail packs.

“We’ve been supplying our award-winning disposable paper cutlery to the foodservice and takeaway sectors for quite some time, but we are now making the products available to the general public through retail channels,” says Celebration Packaging Managing Director Nick Burton. “Packs of paper knives, forks and spoons are already on-shelf with a leading retailer in Norway, and will soon be available here in the UK.”

Available in convenient packs of 20 knives, forks or spoons. Celebration Packaging’s recyclable EnviroWare® paper cutlery is made from paper produced from sustainable forestry and has full FSC® (Forest Stewardship Council®) chain of custody accreditations.  Celebration Packaging is BRCGS (Brand Reputation Compliance Global Standards) certified, and the sustainable paper cutlery has been vigorously tested to meet relevant EU regulations, and is free from Bisphenol A.

The outer packaging is own-label branded to fit in with retailer’s existing retail homeware and picnic ranges, and enables consumers to see at a glance that the cutlery is environmentally friendly.

“In the foodservice and takeaway sectors, we’re seen as the paper cutlery experts,” says Nick. “Immediately after launching the range in 2019, we won an award in the Innovation Challenge at the lunch! show at ExCel, London. The judging panel said: ‘The EnviroWare® paper cutlery is a real contender for the future of foodservice cutlery’. We are excited to now make these sustainable products available through retail channels.”

Celebration Packaging’s recyclable EnviroWare® paper cutlery is now available in retail packs of 20 knives, forks or spoons, and can be own-label branded.

An alternative to plastic cutlery

In Europe, a ban on the sale of single-use plastic cutlery comes into force on 3 July. In the UK, while a ban on the supply or sale of single-use plastic straws and cotton buds came into effect last October, the banning of other single-use plastic items is still being debated.

“Disposable, but fully recyclable paper cutlery provides a perfect solution for consumers wanting to play their part in reducing single-use plastic packaging,” says Nick. “Many people think the focus on sustainability is something new and are then surprised to discover that we launched our EnviroWare® range over 13 years ago.”

Here, at Celebration, we are passionate about making wooden cutlery the new go-to option in disposable cutlery. A real contender to replace traditional plastic cutlery. Its production generally uses less energy compared with other forms of disposable cutlery.

Celebration’s own, EnviroWare® branded wooden cutlery is carefully sourced. Made from natural Birch Wood that is fully sustainable and FSC® (Forest Stewardship Council®) certified. Made using 100% natural wood – there are no coatings, wax, or chemicals added. This means the wooden cutlery is fully biodegradable and commercially compostable.

Our standard, off-the-shelf wooden cutlery range includes wooden knives, wooden forks, and wooden spoons. These are available in standard or medium lengths.  Specialist cutlery is available, including wooden ice cream spades and wooden chip forks.

Making the right packaging choices to make a real difference

The UK food to go sector is growing rapidly and IGD Retail Analysis predicts that it will grow 26.4% over the next five years to be worth £23.4bn by 2024 – more than double the 12.5% growth rate expected in the wider food and grocery retail market. With the sector growing so fast, it is crucial that the industry considers the environmental impact of its packaging and makes the correct, well informed decisions.

“Our aim is always to inform, educate and then provide the most appropriate and environmentally friendly packaging solutions,” said Celebration managing director Nick Burton. “Establishments first need to discover which waste collection methods and facilities are available to them locally and align their packaging choices to those options. We generally recommend following the guidance produced by WRAP (Waste and Resources Action Programme), but we are happy to advise customers so that they make the correct choice for their particular application.

“Caterers certainly need to ensure that they have adequate collection methods and facilities ‘in-house’, but ‘food to go’ literally means that food packaging leaves their premises. So ensuring its disposal doesn’t undo all the good they’ve achieved inside their establishment means making the right packaging choices.”

Today’s discerning customers demand fresh, local, natural, organic, vegan, and other free-from food options, but they are also becoming increasingly interested in the provenance of its packaging. The issue for post-consumer packaging waste is ‘end of life’, so the right choices need to be made to ensure that packaging does not go to landfill, but is reused, recycled or commercially composted. And what the packaging is made from is just as important.

“As a leading food service sector supplier, we understand the increasing pressures our customers face in endeavouring to operate in an environmentally friendly fashion – and consequently we are constantly expanding our range with innovative products,” said Nick Burton. “We appreciate that it can be very difficult to choose packaging which is functional and cost effective whilst also having the lowest possible environmental impact. Many people think this important focus on sustainability is something new and are then surprised to discover that we launched our EnviroWare® range over 12 years ago.

“Our EnviroWare® range provides exciting and innovative eco-friendly food packaging, which contributes to our customers’ green offering and credentials. Our compostable packaging includes: cutlery, dinnerware, cups, platters, portion pots and other catering products and disposables. Once used, this range of packaging can be commercially composted along with food waste, where facilities exist.”

Sustainable material choices including FSC® certified Paper

Celebration and its EnviroWare® range offers packaging made from a wide range of sustainable materials including bagasse, PLA, CPLA, wood and paper.

Bagasse is a natural renewable and sustainable fiber material made from sugar cane (after the sugar has been extracted), and is used to make EnviroWare® portion pots, cups and lids, as well as boxes / clamshells, plates, bowls and trays.

We have a growing range of products made from FSC® (Forest Stewardship Council®) certified paper.  EnviroWare® paper cutlery, new 1oz and 2oz paper portion pots and Vegetarian society approved paper straws are all genuine eco-friendly alternatives to single-use plastic items.  The paper that produces these ranges, comes from sustainable forests and once used the items are commercially compostable.

Spreading the good news

“We believe that caterers should involve their customers in their sustainability story, telling them about the packaging choices they’ve made,” said Nick Burton. “This will help them to understand their role in ensuring a responsible ‘end of life’ for the food packaging from their establishment and improve their environmental sustainability credentials.”
