Where it's used
The applications Paper Fork (158 mm) is best suited for, and what to expect in each.
Cloud kitchens & food delivery
food-grade compostable paper cutlery — the upgrade from CPLA / wooden / PLA cutlery that delivery brands ship today. Suitable for hot rice / curry / soup service, and composts cleanly with the rest of the bagasse meal-tray packaging in a single organic-waste stream.
QSR / food-court single-use utensils
QSR chains and food-court operators serving cloud-kitchen-style takeaway use the paper spoon / fork / knife range as the in-bag cutlery. Snap-back rigidity is engineered for biryani, rice, curry and salad — the cutlery holds its shape under load, unlike soft-folding plain-paper rivals.
Picnics, parties & home-event use
Single-use compostable cutlery for picnics, birthday parties, festivals and home-event entertaining — the eco-friendly alternative to plastic cutlery without the splinter / taste-transfer issue that wooden cutlery has. Pairs with the bagasse plate / bowl range as a complete plant-fibre place-setting.
Airline / rail / institutional catering
IRCTC, airline-galley and institutional-catering tenders specify food-grade compostable cutlery alongside the bagasse meal tray. The paper cutlery range here suits those tenders — taste-neutral, for hot and cold food, and invoiced with HSN / GST for procurement.

How to use paper fork (158 mm)
A simple step-by-step for first-time users — applies to typical home and small-commercial use.
- 1Take from the dispenser
Paper cutlery ships in dispenser-friendly stacks. Take a piece; the food-grade paper stock is heat-stable up to 85 °C — suitable for hot curry, rice, soup and biryani service.
- 2Use — eat hot or cold meals
Snap-back rigidity engineered for biryani, rice and salad workloads. Holds shape under load. Taste-neutral — no waxy mouthfeel.
- 3Compost after use
Single-stream organic / wet-waste disposal with the rest of the bagasse meal-tray / container packaging. Compostable — in commercial composting it typically breaks down in about 90 days (manufacturer data); home composting takes longer.
Storage & shelf life
Store sealed cartons in a dry place, away from direct sunlight, water and strong-smelling chemicals. Bagasse pulp is naturally absorbent — kept sealed it holds its food-contact and structural rating; left open near a damp wall or fragrance source, it'll pick up moisture and ambient odours over time. Sealed paper-cutlery cartons hold for 24 months. The food-grade paper stock is most humidity-sensitive in this catalog — store sealed cartons in the driest corner of the warehouse and finish within 9 months once a dispenser pack is opened.
Why cutlery for this?
food-grade compostable paper cutlery is the upgrade from CPLA / PLA / wooden cutlery at cloud kitchens and food-delivery brands. Suitable for hot food and composts alongside the bagasse meal-tray packaging. Single waste stream end-to-end.
Compare all materials →Frequently asked questions
Common questions about Paper Fork (158 mm). Don't see yours? Contact us or check the full FAQ.
Why bagasse for cutlery?
Bagasse is the fibrous residue left after sugarcane juice extraction — an agricultural byproduct that used to be burned in the field. Moulded into tableware, it gives a single-material pulp vessel with built-in water and oil resistance (no PE / PLA inner film), microwave use per manufacturer specification, and a compostable end-of-life (typically about 90 days in commercial composting). Versus polystyrene: composts instead of lingering for centuries. Versus PLA bioplastics: plain plant fibre, no bioplastic. Versus PE-coated paperboard: composts as a single stream — no liner separation pass.
Is it compostable, and how do I dispose of it?
Drop spent paper cutlery into the organic / wet-waste stream alongside the bagasse meal-tray and container packaging. Compostable — in commercial composting it typically breaks down in about 90 days (manufacturer data); home composting takes longer. PFAS-free and taste-neutral — no contamination of the organic-waste pile.
What does a "Pack of 25" pack contain?
Pack of 25 ships 25 pieces of the Paper Fork (158 mm) (158 × 31 × 2 mm · 800 gsm · 3.2 g/piece). For a typical use pattern in this category, expect 1–2 weeks at trial usage. Step up to the larger pack at checkout for the best per-piece price.
Can I microwave, oven-heat or freeze this?
Compostable paper cutlery is suitable for hot rice, curry, biryani and soup service. Not designed for microwave / oven use (the paper substrate isn't engineered for prolonged radiant heat); pair the cutlery with our bagasse plate / bowl / container for the reheating workflow.
What certifications apply to this product?
Certifications are held by our manufacturing partners, not by PulpyWare, and vary by manufacturer and product line. For this product our manufacturers hold: FDA, ISO22000, FSC. PulpyWare doesn't run its own lab tests — ask us and we'll request the manufacturer's certificate or test report for the products you're buying.
