- EVERY World Centric product is certified by the Biodegradable Products institute to meet ASTM D6400 standards for compostability and certified for plant-based content by the USDA BioBased program Our products not only break down into soil, but – through their production and disposal – use less energy and water, and release less harmful pollutant than their conventional counterparts.
- ALL our products are certified compostable by the Biodegradable Products Institute to meet ASTM D6400 and ASTM D6868 standards for compostability
- OUR MAIN source of plant fiber is wheat straw, though it is occasionally supplemented by sugar cane and bamboo. In many agricultural processes, wheat straw is treated merely as the agricultural waste that remains after grain or juice is extracted. It is commonly thrown away or burned.
- FOR WORLD CENTRIC, straw is a valuable resource that can be fashioned into disposable products like plates, take-out containers, bowls, etc. Using plant fiber protects forests, uses less energy and fewer toxic chemicals than paper alternatives, provides a new revenue for farmers, and is a renewable and sustainable resource.
- OUR PLANT FIBER products will handle hot food and beverages up to 200 Degrees Fahrenheit. They are both microwave and freezer safe. There is a minimum of 90% wheat straw supplemented with discarded wood fiber. Adding the small amount of wood fiber acts as an adhesive for the shorter plant fibers.
Most tissues and napkins are made from fiber obtained by cutting down trees. This NEW line from World Centric is made from wheat straw fiber (90% minimum), an annually renewable resource. Wheat straw is the discarded fiber from crops grown for grain. Converting agricultural fiber into paper reuses a cast-off resource and requires less energy that tree-based fiber. Unbleached napkins also require less water and fewer chemicals! These napkins are made from 100% post consumer waste (PCW) recycled paper. They come directly from a recycling waste stream and are not put through any bleaching processes that might contain chlorine or other chemicals. No virgin wood fiber is used in the manufacture of World Centric PCW napkins.
