Birchware Utensils Now Available for Individuals

Available for Purchase on Amazon.com

San Francisco, December 23, 2009 - Birchware utensils, which, until now, have only been available wholesale to caterers, ski resorts, hospitals and other businesses, can now be purchased by individuals through Amazon.com.

Birchware wooden disposable utensils are made from plantation grown birch trees and are an elegant alternative to disposable plastics. They contain no dyes, bleaches, or glazes and are completely compostable. 

Unlike bio-plastics, which only degrade in a commercial composter, Birchware breaks down in less than 60 days in any composter. 

And unlike disposable plastic utensils, Birchware utensils look and feel like premium utensils.

"Once people realize utensils can be made from wood, the reaction is outstanding," says Robert Waddell, Birchware CEO.

Wolfgang Puck Catering uses them at their events to reduce waste and promote sustainability. "One of our priorities is to reduce the use of plastics in our operations. Using a disposable, easily compostable utensil that looks and feels great is a fantastic find for us," says Brent Anderson, Executive Chef.

Sweet. Creme Brulee, which supplies organic pastries for events, restaurants, and caterers, uses Birchware exclusively for their operations. Their products are made from the finest organic ingredients available; Birchware proves they care about the environment, while supporting their pastry products with a unique look and feel.

Birchware forks, knives and spoons are sold in 100 piece packs and are on sale at Amazon for the holiday season.
