BOULDER, Colo., April 24, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Eco-Products^® is launching its newest line of sustainable products, compostable cutlery made from Forest Stewardship Council^® (FSC)^® certified birch wood complete with a unique, user-friendly design.

Eco-Products' new compostable cutlery is made from Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified birch wood. Perfect for both hot and cold foods, the 6.5-inch spoons, forks and knives feature a ridge in the handle for a stronger grip and extra durability. The wooden utensils are available bulk unwrapped as well as individually wrapped or wrapped as part of a kit. They can be purchased at www.ecoproducts.com.

"This new wooden cutlery is a significant addition to our GreenStripe^® line," said Wendell Simonson, Director of Marketing for Eco-Products.
